January 14, 200521 yr i thought that y'all might like theseJust the good ol' boys, Never meanin' no harm, Beats all you've ever saw, been in trouble with the law since the day they was born. Straight'nin' the curve, Flat'nin' the hills. Someday the moutain 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. Just good ol' boys, Wouldn't change if they could, Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.
March 13, 200521 yr There is another verse to that song in the full length version that is sometimes played on the radio. I don't like that version because, even though it is still Waylon singing, he sings a little differently and the music is quite a bit different. Anyway, the extra verse goes something like this:"I'm a good ol' boyYou know my mama loves meBut she can't understand [why]They keep showing my handsand not my face on TV"Edit: I should read the rest of threads in this forum before posting. This has already been posted in another thread, lol.
March 13, 200521 yr Thanks for the lyrics. We never knew how the second verse started until we got the DVD that used subtitles (we're both a bit hard of hearing). I always thought "Straightnin' the curves" was something about girls, but then it does show Bo kissing so that might have something to do with it.
March 13, 200521 yr Given a choice, I think there's some curves the boys would prefer not to straighten.
March 28, 200521 yr Good one MaryAnne!!! By the way, I put Tom's latest CD on the Rate It All site. Its under Dissertation on the State of Bliss. If anyone wants to go over to rate it. He only has 4 stars and no comments except mine. This Tomgirl thinks he needs just a bit of help! LOL 8)
