Just Good Ol' Boys
Moe Bandy & Joe Stampley Lyrics

Well, I've been kicked out of might near ever bar in town
I have been removed from almost every drinking establishment in town

I've been locked up for drivn' 120 through town
I have been imprisoned for driving 120 miles per hour through a populated area

Been shot and cut with a knife
I have been injured by being shot with a weapon and by being cut by a blade

For messin' round with another man's wife
I was injured for being romantically involved with someone who was already legally committed to another person

But other than that we ain't nothing but good ol' boys
Apart from those incidents, we are merely a group of men who enjoy traditional 'good old boy' activities

Threw my my boss out the window and got fired from my last job
I hurled my supervisor through a physical barrier and was subsequently terminated from my previous position

Hot wired a city truck and turned it over in the Mayor's yard
I unlawfully gained access to a municipal vehicle and overturned it in the yard of the elected official who presides over the city

Well, I beat my brother-in law half to death
I have severely physically assaulted my own relative by marriage

I lost 20 bucks on his football bet
I was also unsuccessful in a twenty-dollar monetary wager on a football game

Other than that, We ain't nothing but good ol' boys
Discounting these occurrences, we are simply a group of men who engage in traditional 'good old boy' activities

Good ol' boys were all the same
Men who participate in typical 'good old boy' practices share a common existence

Ain't no way we'll ever change
We are unlikely to undergo transformation in the future

Mean no harm by the things we do
We do not intend to cause harm through our chosen activities

Or the trouble that we get into
However, we sometimes find ourselves in problematic situations

Other than a wild hair once in a while
Excluding occasional impulsive decisions

We can't help it just our style
We cannot help but conform to the traditional 'good old boy' lifestyle

But, other than that we ain't nothing, just good ol' boys
Other than those negligible moments, we are simply men who enjoy partaking in classic 'good old boy' customs

I got an alimony payment that's 6 weeks over due
I have not fulfilled my required spousal support payments for six weeks past the deadline

Got caught with a trunk load of bootleg out of state booze
I was apprehended while transporting a large quantity of illegal alcohol obtained from an out-of-state source

Hocked my wife's diamond ring last June
I pawned my spouse's valuable diamond ring in the month of June

Bought me an outboard Evenrude
With the funds received from the pawn transaction noted above, I purchased a motorboat engine manufactured by Evenrude

But other than that we ain't nothing but good ol' boys
Apart from those issues, we are merely a group of men who engage in traditions associated with 'good old boys'
