When Good Ol' Boys Go Bad

Old Clarence was a corn fed Sunday school teacher
 At the Cheephill Church of Christ
 A God fearing fence clearing, hay slinging
 Hymn 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 meeting
 With his maker in the promise land
 Nobody sees 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 righteous 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 through
 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 righteous 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 through
 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 righteous 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 through
 When a good ole boy goes bad
 It hides the truth but it bleeds through
 When a good ole boy goes bad
