Good Ol' Boy

You ain't never held a handfull of red clay
But you sing about it anyways
A true country boy is hard to find
& your backwoods ways are only in your mind

And I don't need a man with a mouthful of dip
I just need a man without a mouthful of lies
Those damn good ol' boys
Don't buy jeans with holes already in the sides

I just want a real man
One who can hold his own
Take care of me
Gets home before dawn
I just want a real man
Not one underemployed
More than they sing in Nashville
More than just a good ol' boy

You don't know what a woman needs
You just keep your head in the weeds
Singing with a guitar 'bout good times past
Honestly, what do you know about Cash?
Or Waylon? or Jackson? or Strait?
Or anything about this Georgia state?

And I don't need a man with a Skoal ring
I just need a man without a mouthful of shit
Those damn good ol' boys
Don't buy the songs Kenny Chesney sings

I just want a real man
One who can hold his own
Take care of me
Gets home before dawn
I just want a real man
Not one underemployed
More than they sing in Nashville
More than just a good ol' boy
