Good Ole Boys Like Me

Good Ole Boys Like Me - Don Williams (唐·威廉姆斯)

Written by：Bob McDill

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 staggered 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

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 don'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 you do with good ole boys like me

Yeah what you do with good ole boys like me
