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
