"Good Old Boys" lyrics

Good Old Boys

Well, I'm sorry that I hit you, honey
I was swinging at the man
He shouldn't have said the things he did
But then on the other hand

You shouldn't have lead him on like that
It really makes me mad
Cause good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go bad

You never should have danced with him
That was your first mistake
And when he grabbed you where he did
Well, it was more than I could take

And when they helped him off of that floor
He sure was a looking sad
Causе good old boys will be good old boys
Till thе good old girls go bad

Well, us good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go home
I might have even let him off
If you hadn't lead him on

But you just kept on flirting
And I guess I just lost my head
Cause good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go bad
And don't you forget it

Well, thanks to you we've got to go
And they won't let us come back
And we ain't going nowhere no more
Till you learn how to act

And how should I know where you left your purse?
Hot dang, you make me mad
Good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go bad

Well, good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go home
I might have even let him off
If you hadn't lead him on

Well, I hope that you learned your lesson
And remember just what I said
Good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go bad

Yes, good old boys will be good old boys
Till the good old girls go bad
