Lyrics Jim Ed Brown - Broad-Minded Man

Broad Minded Man
Recorded by Jim Ed Brown
written by Jim Owen

C Am
I’ve been a rascal since the day I was born
D7 G7
Oh what a good life I’ve had
C Am
I’ve got more memories than leaves on a tree
D7 G7 C
And I owe it all to my dad

A7 D7
Daddy was a broad minded man
G7 C
He had ‘em on his mind all the time
A7 D7
I’m gonna be like dad in every way I can
G7 C
I’ll try to be a broad minded man

Am
I’ve lived in haste attempted to taste
D7 G7
Every drop of life’s sweet wine
C Am
So if there’s anything I ain’t done
D7 G7 C
It’s because I haven’t had the time

Am
I’ve got a woman she don’t understand
D7 G7
She calls my life a shame
C Am
And throws up a howl every time I’m on the prowl
D7 G7 C
And I’m sure my momma did the same

Repeat #2
Am
I hope there ain’t a girl anywhere in this world
D7 G7
Who’s been hurt by something that I’ve done
C Am
If I’ve caused a tear to fall then I’m sorry for it all
D7 G7 C
Cause I swear it was all done in fun

Repeat #2
G7 C
Yes I’ll always be a broad minded man.
