My favorite song ever from one of my favorite singers ever. Give me another 10 years and I"ll look just like him.
Don Williams- Good Ol Boys Like Me
When I was a kid Uncle Remus would put me to bed
with a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
then daddy came in to kiss his little man
with gin on his breath
and a bible in his hand
he talked about honor and things I should know
then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the life 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
but whattaya do with good old boys like me
Well nothin 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
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 Wolf whisperin in my head
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
But whattaya do with good ol boys like me
When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street
and I watched him burn himself up on bourban and speed
but I was smarter than most and I could choose
learned to talk like the man on the six oclock news
when I was 18 lord I hit the road
but it really doesn't matter how far I go
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 whattaya do with good ol boys like me
yeah whattaya do with good ol boys like me
