| Well, it’s been a long time
|
| Since I flew past that welcome sign
|
| Smelled the sweet of them pines
|
| And it’s honeysuckle, belt buckle paradise
|
| Oh, that wrap-around town you thought that you owned
|
| Where you learned how to live, yeah, until you got gone
|
| And you think that you change, but you find that you don’t
|
| 'Cause you can’t outrun what you’re raised up on
|
| You can’t take the good out of the good ol' boy
|
| Can’t fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl
|
| Don’t know a day without breaking out
|
| Some «Hell yeah,» some «Yes, ma’am,» some «Hey, y’all»
|
| Good Lord’s the first one you thank
|
| When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank
|
| You might not stay, but you don’t ever leave
|
| When your down home runs deep
|
| Those Friday night lights
|
| They’re shining just a little bit brighter now
|
| And that cotton ball sky
|
| Looks the same, but there’s a few more looking down
|
| And I hope that I’m making 'em proud and I’m showing 'em how
|
| Yeah, I’m showing 'em how
|
| You can’t take the good out of the good ol' boy
|
| Can’t fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl
|
| Don’t know a day without breaking out
|
| Some «Hell yeah,» some «Yes, ma’am,» some «Hey, y’all»
|
| Good Lord’s the first one you thank
|
| When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank
|
| You might not stay, but you don’t ever leave
|
| When your down home runs deep
