Good Ole Boys Like Me - Don Williams

[00:00.00]Don Williams
[00:08.38]When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
[00:17.21]With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
[00:26.04]Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
[00:30.45]With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
[00:34.86]He talked about honor and things I should know
[00:39.25]Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door
[00:43.80]
[00:45.51]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[00:54.22]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[01:00.85]Hank and Tennessee
[01:03.54]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[01:12.40]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
[01:18.37]
[01:21.55]Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
[01:30.26]But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was
[01:39.07]The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen
[01:43.37]John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
[01:47.85]By the light of the radio by my bed
[01:52.34]With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head
[01:57.20]
[01:58.37]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[02:07.11]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[02:14.55]Hank and Tennessee
[02:16.85]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[02:25.24]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
[02:38.74]When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
[02:47.53]But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
[02:55.78]But I was smarter than most and I could choose
[03:00.46]Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news
[03:05.10]When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
[03:09.48]But it really doesn't matter how far I go
[03:15.62]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[03:24.46]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[03:31.79]Hank and Tennessee
[03:33.86]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[03:42.46]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
