Old Clarence was a cornfed sunday school teacher at the cheephill church of christ
|
A God fearing fence clearing, hay slinging, hymm singing, back breaker all of his life
|
Came in early one night, find his pretty wife in the arms of another man
|
There's hell to pay when a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
In a smoke filled late night club by the river
|
Sat a stranger dealing five card stud
|
He was a big talkin, fast walkin fly by nighter
|
There to take the money and run
|
They caught the fella cheatin
|
So they set him up a meating
|
With his maker in the promise land
|
Nobody see's a thing when a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
The good book goes out the window
|
When the gloves go to the floor
|
His give a damn to be a rightous man
|
Don't give a damn no more
|
Under that blue collar
|
There's a big ole long red tail
|
It hides the truth
|
But it bleeds thru
|
When a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation
|
Crop growin son of a gun
|
One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin
|
Wantin' money but there wasn't none
|
He put a crop in the hollar
|
When night came he watered
|
By fall he had the cold hard cash
|
When times get hard
|
Sometimes a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
The good book goes out the window
|
When the gloves go to the floor
|
His give a damn to be a rightous man
|
Don't give a damn no more
|
Under that blue collar
|
There's a big ole long red tail
|
It hides the truth
|
But it bleeds thru
|
When a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
The good book goes out the window
|
When the gloves go to the floor
|
His give a damn to be a rightous man
|
Don't give a damn no more
|
Under that blue collar
|
There's a big ole long red tail
|
It hides the truth
|
But it bleeds thru
|
When a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
|
|
It hides the truth
|
But it bleeds thru
|
When a Good Ole Boy Goes Bad
