Good Ole Boys Like Me |
| When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed |
| With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head |
| Then daddy came in to kiss his little man |
| With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand |
| He talked about honor and things I should know |
| Then he staggered a little as he went out the door |
| I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees |
| And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me |
| Hank and Tennessee |
| I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be |
| So what do you do with good ole boys like me |
| Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does |
| But you ain’t afraid if you’re washed in the blood like I was |
| The smell of Cape Jasmine through the window screen |
| John R. and the Wolfman kept me company |
| By the light of the radio by my bed |
| With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head |
| I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees |
| And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me |
| Hank and Tennessee |
| I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be |
| So what do you do with good ole boys like me |
| When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street |
| And I watched him burn himself up on Bourbon and speed |
| But I was smarter than most and I could choose |
| Learned to talk like the man on the six o’clock news |
| When I was eighteen Lord I hit the road but it really didn’t matter how far I go |
| I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees |
| And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me |
| Hank and Tennessee |
| I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be |
| So what do you do with good ole boys like me |
| Yeah what do you do with good ole boys like me |
