    Don Williams - Good Ole Boys Like Me




    "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'd stagger 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?

    And 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 doesn'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?
