Waylon Jennings – Good Ol’ Boys Lyrics
Just’a good ol’ boys
Never meanin’ no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Staightnin’ the curves, yeah
Flatnin’ the hills
Someday the mountain might get ’em
But the law never will

Makin’ their way
The only way they know how
That’s just a little bit more
Than the law will allow

Makin’ their way
The only way they know how
That’s just a little bit more
Than the law will allow

I’m a good ol’ boy
You know my momma loves me
But she don’t understand
They keep a showin my hands and not my face on TV

Oh yeah
