Song Lyrics
Just the good ol boys
Never meanin no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born
Staightnin the curves
Flatnin the hills
Someday the mountain might get em
But the law never will
Makin their way
The only way they know how
That’s just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
Makin’ their way
The only way they know how
That’s just a little bit more
Than the law will allow
Just them good ol boys
Wouldn’t change if they could
Fightin the system
Like a true modern day Robin Hood
