[Verse 1]
G D C G C D
When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
G D C G 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 D Em D C Em Am D
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
G D Em D C
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Em Am D
Hank and Tennessee
C D Em D 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 2]
G D C G 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 D Em D C Em Am D
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
G D Em D C
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Em Am D
Hank and Tennessee
C D Em D 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 3]
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 that, 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'd go
[Chorus]
G D Em D C Em Am D
I can still hear the soft Southern winds in the live oak trees
G D Em D C
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me
Em Am D
Hank and Tennessee
C D Em D C
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
D Em D C

D G
Yeah So what do you do with good ole boys like me
