Well, I've been kicked out of might near ever bar in town I've been locked up for drivn' 120 through town Been shot and cut with a knife For messin' round with another man's wife But other than that we ain't nothing but good ol' boys Threw my my boss out the window and got fired from my last job Hot wired a city truck and turned it over in the Mayor's yard Well, I beat my brother-in law half to death I lost 20 bucks on his football bet Other than that, We ain't nothing but good ol' boys Good ol' boys were all the same Ain't no way we'll ever change Mean no harm by the things we do Or the trouble that we get into Other than a wild hair once in a while We can't help it just our style But, other than that we ain't nothing, just good ol' boys I got an alimony payment that's 6 weeks over due Got caught with a trunk load of bootleg out of state booze Hocked my wife's diamond ring last June Bought me an outboard Evenrude But other than That we ain't nothing but good ol' boys Good ol' boys were all the same Ain't no way we'll ever change Mean no harm by the things we do Or the trouble that we get into Other than a wild hair once in a while We can't help it just our style But, other than that we ain't nothing, just good ol' boys
