Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more

The only way they know how yeah

You know my momma loves me
But she don't understand
They keep a showin' my hands
And not my face on TV
