               G          D        G
Intro.:  I just can't get away form a good      
 C             G           C
time 
          G                    
It started out innocent enough, hanging in 
the backyard working on my truck
            C
Turning some wrenches, cranking some tunes
   
 a typical Saturday afternoon
                    G
Next thing I know my neighbor Pete walked 
     
back, said his weed wacker ran out of gas
               C                 
We looked hard, couldn't find a drop,ended

 up at the fridge in the back of my shop

(Pre-Chorus)
        Em
One cold one turned into four, four's got 
 D
a way of turning into more
            C
Bust out the wieners, bust out the buns,  

fire up the grill, gonna have a little fun

(Chorus)
               G
It follows me around wherever I go, just 

Like a wake behind my old bass boat
          C
One minute I'm just hanging around, next 

thing you know a damn party breaks out
               Em
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance              
               D
I've learned to make it all a part of my 

plans
        C
It don't matter how hard I try,
      G           D         G
I just can't get away from a good time

Solo:  C       G        C

                  G
We were cutting it up and telling some 

jokes, talking Nascar and UFO's
                 C
That chain-linked fence don't keep out 

much, the rest of the block started 

showing on up.
          G
Ran out of charcoal, ran to the store, 

they were running the deal on cases of

Coors
             C
If you bought one it was regular price, 

but if you bought two it, you got a free

 bag of ice

(Pre-Chorus)
                      Em
Hell, so I bought four and it made me grin
             D
I was walking out when pretty girls were 

walking in
                 C
You could say the stars just lined-up just 
right, but it ain't luck man, it's just my 
life

(Chorus)
             G
It follows me around wherever I go,

just like a wake behind my old bass boat
          C
One minute  I'm just hanging around, next 

thing you know a damn party breaks out
               Em
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance
               D
I've learned to make it all a part of my 

plans
        C
It don't matter how hard I try, I just 
G          D         G
can't get away from a good time

Solo:  
 C           G         C
    Oh no, I  can't 

(Pre-Chorus)
               Em
I guess that ol'truck's gonna wait another
                         D
 day, maybe two or three, it keeps going 

this way
               C
Oh, but I don't care, say what you want

 man, we only get to live it up once

(Half-Chorus)
               G
It follows me around wherever I go,

 just like a wake behind my old bass boat
          C
One minute I'm just hanging around, 

next thing you know a damn party breaks

 out

(Chorus)
                     G
Yeah, it follows me around wherever I go, 

just like a wake behind my old bass boat
              C
One minute I'm just hanging around, 

next thing you know a damn party breaks 

out
               Em
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance
                 D
can't turn down a drink, can't turn down a 
dance.
        C
It don't matter how hard I try,
      G          D   
I just can't get away, 
      Em             C             D
I just can't get away, I can't get away   
      G         C
from a good time 
      G           C         G
I just can't get away from a good time.
