Good Ol' Boys Lyrics

[Crazy_C]

i thought that y'all might like these

Just the good ol' boys,
Never meanin' no harm,
Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born.

Straight'nin' the curve,
Flat'nin' the hills.
Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will.

Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

Just good ol' boys,
Wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.

There is another verse to that song in the full length version that is sometimes played on the radio. I don't like that version because, even though it is still Waylon singing, he sings a little differently and the music is quite a bit different. Anyway, the extra verse goes something like this:

"I'm a good ol' boy
You know my mama loves me
But she can't understand [why]
They keep showing my hands
and not my face on TV"

Edit: I should read the rest of threads in this forum before posting. This has already been posted in another thread, lol.

Thanks for the lyrics. We never knew how the second verse started until we got the DVD that used subtitles (we're both a bit hard of hearing). I always thought "Straightnin' the curves" was something about girls, but then it does show Bo kissing so that might have something to do with it.

Given a choice, I think there's some curves the boys would prefer not to straighten. :wink:

Good one MaryAnne!!! By the way, I put Tom's latest CD on the Rate It All site. Its under Dissertation on the State of Bliss. If anyone wants to go over to rate it. He only has 4 stars and no comments except mine. This Tomgirl thinks he needs just a bit of help! LOL :D 8)
