Good Ole Boys Like Me - Don Williams

[00:10.500]When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
[00:18.800]With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
[00:26.000]Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
[00:31.000]With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
[00:35.000]He talked about honor and things I should know
[00:39.600]Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door
[00:45.000]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[00:53.600]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[00:59.600]Hank and Tennessee
[01:02.000]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[01:10.000]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
[01:19.000]Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
[01:27.456]But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was
[01:35.000]The smell of cape jasmine thru the window screen
[01:39.500]John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
[01:43.800]By the light of the radio by my bed
[01:48.000]With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head
[01:53.600]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[02:01.700]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[02:08.000]Hank and Tennessee
[02:10.600]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[02:18.700]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
[02:31.800]When I was in school I ran with kid down the street
[02:40.000]But I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
[02:48.000]But I was smarter than most and I could choose
[02:52.300]Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news
[02:56.500]When I was eighteen, Lord, I hit the road
[03:00.670]But it really doesn't matter how far I go
[03:06.500]I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
[03:15.000]And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
[03:20.700]Hank and Tennessee
[03:23.600]I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
[03:32.000]So what do you do with good ole boys like me
[03:39.400]Yeah what do you do with good ole boys like me
