Good Ol' Man Lyrics

I'm cleanin' up them dirty words that I say these days

Showin' up to church a lot more on Sunday

Workin' on bad habit breakin'

Cuttin' back on Copenhagen

Little less gas, little more brake in my Chevrolet

Whatever it takes 'cause

I got a gift from God sittin' in the back seat

And I'ma need to be a little better

If he's gonna wanna be like me

I'm just a good ol' boy

Tryin' to be a good ol' man

Out here learnin' on the fly

Tryin' to do the best I can

To raise him up right

No sir, yes, ma'am

I'm just a good ol' boy

Tryin' to be a good ol' man

Yes, I am, mm yeah

Gonna be a lot of learnin' in between them inches on that doorframe

I don't know a lot about a lot, but I know I could teach him a few things

How to swim, how to fish, how to drive a stick

Just like my daddy taught me

And he'll know how to say he's sorry

'Cause he'll hear that from me

I'm just a good ol' boy (good ol' boy)

Tryin' to be a good ol' man

Out here learnin' on the fly

Tryin' to do the best I can

To raise him up right (up right)

Lord knows I am

I'm just a good ol' boy

Tryin' to be a good ol' man (good ol' man)

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man (good ol' man)

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man

Makin' a man out of him

Is makin' a man out of me

Makin' a man out of him

So one day he'll be

Another good ol' boy, yeah

Just a good ol' boy

Tryin' to be a good old man

Out here learnin' on the fly (learnin' on the fly)

Tryin' to do the best I can (yeah, mama)

To raise him up right (up right)

Lord knows I am (knows I am)

I'm just a good ol' boy

Tryin' to be a good ol' man (only got two hands)

Yes, I am

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man (good ol' man)

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man (I'm a good ol' man)

Yes, I am

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man (good ol' man)

Oh, I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin', oh I'm tryin'

Oh, I'm tryin' to be a good ol' man (mm, yeah)
