GOOD OL’ BOY GONE BAD
(Strider/McGilpin)
We knew that there was trouble when Charlie met Diane
She’s got him actin’ crazy, it’s gettin’ out of hand
He’s quit the cards and drinkin’, this ain’t no passin’ thing
He’s traded in his pick-up for a fancy diamond ring
We’re really gonna lose him if we don’t do something fast

He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad
Since he found himself a woman he’s forgotten all the fun we had
He used to shoot t he Wild Turkey ‘till the sun came up
Now he’s sittin’ in her kitchen with a coffee cup
He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad

Somebody had to save him, so we came up with a plan
To catch him at the office, put a Lone Star in his hand
Hire 15 table dancers to turn his head around
Show what he’d be missin’ if he tries to settle down
We might as well forget him if he can’t get up for that

He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad
Since he found himself a woman he’s forgotten all the fun we had
He used to shoot the Wild Turkey ‘till the sun came up
Now he’s sittin’ in her kitchen with a coffee cup
He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad

(Instrumental solo: electric slide guitar - Pelle Jernryd)

Some men were born to party
They got it in their jeans/genes
And Charlie was the best
The best we’ve every seen, yeah

He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad
Since he found himself a woman he’s forgotten all the fun we had
He used to shoot the Wild Turkey ‘till the sun came up
Now he’s sittin’ in her kitchen with a coffee cup
He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad
He’s a good ol’ boy
A Good Ol’ Boy Gone Bad
Too bad
