[Intro]

[Verse]
        C           G  C  G
You're working too hard
           C          G  C  G
Or you're living too fast
      C          Em          D           C
Hands over your eyes with a foot on the gas
 
         C      G      C  G
And the best I can tell
     C           G     C  G
The crowd seems ashamed
    C             Em                D             C
It sounds like a warning when they call out your name
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
          C          G    C  G
The competition got fierce
           C         Em       D          C  G/B
And you'd rather be anywhere other than here
 
 
[Chorus]
           Am      Em       Am
But it can get so much worse
       G         C
And I reckon it will
       C        G   C  G  C  G  C  G
In Vestaviaaaa Hills
 
 
[Verse]
      C           G      C  G
Last night was a long one
            C          G     C  G
You made a lot of new friends
          C           Em        D            C
And your band was on fire right up 'til the end
 
           C             G    C    G
You met a girl from the subuuuurbs
         C              G  C  G
But you missed all the cues
       C           Em        D          C
I bet you don't remember me tying your shoes
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
               C           G  C  G
And you're an angry young man
         C         Em             D          C  G/B
Well, I won't be around when you die in the van
 
 
[Chorus]
       Am
I got kids of my own
     G         C
Not much of a will
       C     G   C  G  C  G  C  G
In Vestavia Hills
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
G  Am  Am  Em
Em  Am  Am  Em  D  Am
Am  Em  Em  D  D  D
 
 
[Verse]
      C         G      C  G
This run is my last one
         C       G      C  G
I gotta get off the road
           C           Em          Em     C
And gotta get my mind back in the family mode
 
       C            G       C  G
And I wish you the best, son
           C          G   C  G
I've seen worse do alright
           C             Em               D           C
You're at war with your heart and you're too weak to fight
 
 
[Verse]
         C         G       C  G
The boy genius is grown now
      C          G       C  G
Your dreams all came true
         C                Em          D        C  G/B
And now you're left with nothing but damage to do
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am
Well, I've got dreams of my own
        G         C
And my wife pays the bills
       C     G   C  G  C  G  C  G
In Vestavia Hills
 
    C   G    C   G  C  G  C  G
Vestaviaaaa Hiiills
              You're working too hard, you're living to fast
Hands over your eyes with a foot on the gas
And the best I can tell, the crowd seems ashamed
It sounds like a warning when they call out your name

The boy genius is grown now
The competition got fierce
And you'd rather be anywhere other than here
It can get so much worse
I reckon it will
In Vestavia Hills

Last night was a long one
You made a lot of new friends
And your band was on fire right up 'til the end
You met a girl from the suburbs
But you missed all the cues
I bet you don't remember me tying your shoes

The boy genius is grown now
And your an angry young man
Well, I won't be around when you die in the van
I got kids of my own
Not much of a will
In Vestavia Hills

This run is my last one
I got to get off the road
I got to get my mind back in the family mode
And I wish you the best, son
I've seen worse do alright
You're at war with your heart and you're too weak to fight

The boy genius is grown now
Your dreams all came true
And now you're left with nothing but damage to do
Well, I got dreams of my own
And my wife pays the bills
