Letra de Good ole boys like

When i was a kid uncle remus put me to bed/
with a picture of stonewall jackson above my head/
then daddy came in to kiss his little man/
he talked about honor and things i should know/
then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door/
Chorus:
i can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees/
and 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/
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 through the window screen/
john r. and the wolfman kept me company/
by the light of the radio by my bed/
with thomas wolfe whispering in my head/
<chorus>
When i was in school i ran with a kid down the street/
and i watched him burn up with 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 really matter how far i go/
<chorus>
