[Verse]
     G        D         C        D         C    D
When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
        G          D          C      D        C    D
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
       Em                         D
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
      Em                      D
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
     C                       D
He talked about honor and things I should know
            C                     D
Then he'd stagger a little as he went out the door

[Chorus]
      G              Bm             Em           D          C   Bm  Am  D
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
          G        Bm         Em           G     C     Bm           Am     D
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me  Hank and Tenn-essee
   C                    D                   Em   C
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be
                       D                  G
So what do you do with good ole boys like me

[Verse]
                                             C          D
Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
    G           D              C             G            C     D
But you ain’t afraid if you’re washed in the blood like I was
    Em                                D
The smell of cape jasmine through the window screen
Em                              D 
John R. and the Wolfman kept me company
       C                  D
By the light of the radio by my bed
     C                       D
With Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head

[Chorus]
      G              Bm             Em           D          C   Bm  Am  D
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
          G        Bm         Em           G     C     Bm           Am     D
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me  Hank and Tenn-essee
   C                    D                   Em   C
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be
                       D                  G    D  C  D
So what do you do with good ole boys like me

[Verse]
 G             D        C          G            C      D
When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street
      G            D           C      G            C     D
And I watched him burn himself up on bourbon and speed
          Em                    D
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
            Em                       D
Learned to talk like the man on the six o’clock news
           C                       D
When I was eighteen Lord I hit the road
       C                         D
But it really doesn't matter how far I go

[Chorus]
      G              Bm             Em           D          C   Bm  Am  D
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
          G        Bm         Em           G     C     Bm           Am     D
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me  Hank and Tenn-essee
   C                    D                   Em   C
I guess we’re all gonna be what we’re gonna be
                       D                  Em   C
So what do you do with good ole boys like me
                       D                    G
Yeah what do you do with good ole boys like me
