When Good Ole Boys Go Bad Lyrics - Travis Tritt

Old Clarence was a corn fed Sunday school teacher 

At the Cheephill Church of Christ 

A God fearing fence clearing, hay slinging 

Hymn singing, back breaker all of his life 

Came in early one night, find his pretty wife 

In the arms of another man 

There's hell to pay when a good ole boy goes bad 

In a smoke filled late night club by the river 

Sat a stranger dealing five card stud 

He was a big talkin', fast walkin' fly by nighter 

There to take the money and run 

They caught the fella cheatin' 

So they set him up a meeting 

With his maker in the promise land 

Nobody sees a thing when a good ole boy goes bad

The good book goes out the window 

When the gloves go to the floor 

His give a damn to be a righteous man 

Don't give a damn no more 

Under that blue collar 

There's a big ole long red tail 

It hides the truth, but it bleeds through 

When a good ole boy goes bad 

Now old man Taylor was a fourth generation 

Crop growin' son of a gun 

One dry summer Uncle Sam come a runnin' 

Wantin' money but there wasn't none 

He put a crop in the hollar 

When night came he watered 

By fall he had the cold hard cash 

When times get hard 

Sometimes a good ole boy goes bad

The good book goes out the window 

When the gloves go to the floor 

His give a damn to be a righteous man 

Don't give a damn no more 

Under that blue collar 

There's a big ole long red tail 

It hides the truth but it bleeds through 

When a good ole boy goes bad 

The good book goes out the window 

When the gloves go to the floor 

His give a damn to be a righteous man 

Don't give a damn no more 

Under that blue collar 

There's a big ole long red tail 

It hides the truth but it bleeds through 

When a good ole boy goes bad 

It hides the truth but it bleeds through 

When a good ole boy goes bad
