Lyrics
Good Ole Boy
I was born in a west Texas town
And yeah it?s true I like to knock ?em down
In them smoke-filled bars with them pretty lasses
And I like my beer from them long-necked glasses
They see me comin? there?s smiles on their faces
?Cause I?ve lit up quite a few places
I sit down, order me a cold one
Next thing I know, everyone?s havin? fun
Cause I?m a Good ole Boy with stories to tell
Ain?t goin? to heaven so I?m out raisin hell
Been tellin? these tales since back in my youth
I don?t remember if they?re fiction or Truth
Boots stompin? the floor, we?re all getting loud
Somehow I?ve attracted an awful large crowd
Eyes upon me, they wanna be entertained
Won?t disappoint them, the stories are ingrained
Every actor knows, you gotta end strong
So I tell a tall one, there?s more they long
I get the keep?s attention ?One for the House?
One last story boys, And I?m back home to the Spouse
Uh Ho
Cause I?m a Good ole Boy with stories to tell
Ain?t goin? to heaven so I?m out raisin hell
Been tellin? these tales since back in my youth
I don?t remember if they?re fiction or Truth
Where did the night go, it?s a quarter to three
Everybody?s gone but the barkeep and me
I?m a tad bit woozy, the wife?ll be mad
But oh what a great time everyone had
I think to myself through the smoke filled fog
One last chaser, ?Hair of the Dog?
So I says to Jimmy, ?This one?s on me?
He says ?Go home boy? it?s damn near quarter to three!
Yeah Yeah
Cause I?m a Good ole Boy with stories to tell
Ain?t goin? to heaven so I?m out raisin hell
Been tellin? these tales since back in my youth
I don?t remember if they?re fiction or Truth
Cause I?m a Good ole Boy with stories to tell
Ain?t goin? to heaven so I?m out raisin hell
Been tellin? these tales since back in my youth
I don?t remember if they?re fiction or Truth
And that?s the truth.
