Don Williams Miscellaneous Good Ole Boys Like Me (1980) When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my bed Then Daddy came in to kiss his little man With gin on his breath and the Bible in his hand And he talked about honor and things I should know Then he staggered a little when he went out the door And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees 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? Well 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 thru the window screen With John R. and the Wolfman kept me company By the light of the radio by my bed With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees 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 the 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 doesn't seem to matter how far I go And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees 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? Yes what do you do with good ole boys like me? |
