Good Ole Boys Like Me
recorded by Don Williams

1. When[D] I was a kid[A] Uncle Re-[G]mus he[D] put me to[G] bed
with a picture of Stonewall[G] Jackson[D] above my[G] head
Then Daddy came in to kiss his[A] little man
with gin on his breath and a Bible[A] in his hand
[G]He talked about honor and things[A] I should know
Then[G] he staggered a little as he[A7] went out the door

I[D]can still hear the soft southern[G] wind in the[A] live oak[G] trees
and those[D] Williams boys they[G] still mean a[A] lot to[G] me, Hank and[E] Tennessee[A7]
I[G] guess we're all gonna[A] be what we're gonna be
[G]So what do you do with[A] good ole boys like[D] me

2. 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 thru the window screen
with John R. and the wolfman kept me company
by the light of the radio by my bed
with Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

I[D] can still hear the soft southern[G] wind in the[A] live oak[G] trees
those[D] Williams boys they[G] still mean a[A] lot to[G] me, Hank and[E] Tennessee[A7]
I[G] guess we're all gonna[A] be what we're gonna be
[G]So what do you do with[A] good ole boys like[D] me

3. When I was in school I ran with the kid down the street
and I watched him burn himself up on 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 really doesn't matter how far I go


I[D] still hear the soft southern[G] wind in the[A] live oak[G] trees
those[D] Williams boys they[G] still mean a[A] lot to[G] me, Hank and[E] Tennessee[A7]
I[G] guess we're all gonna[A] be what we're gonna be
G]So what do you do with[A] good ole boys like[D] me
