lyrics

He was a good old boy
Blond-haired, blue-eyed, daddy's little man
Blue-collared, calloused hands

He was a good old boy
And I was like 13, he was like 15 when
He saw me in that crowded room
You all were watching

He was a
Good old boy x3
He was a good old boy
Who forced his crotch on my head
He was
A good old boy x2
A blessed child of God
Who who looked in my eyes
And made sure I knew I was less

Why don't you hit him in his face?
(They said)
If you'd just stop being so gay
(They said)
It's just the silly games we play
(They said)
I guess it's hard to argue with the
Good old boys x3

Tried to be a good old boy
So I shaved my head to look like one of them
But I guess that that was bullshit
'Cause another good old boy
Brown-haired, brown-eyed, camo jacket on
Approached me in that crowded gym
You all were watching

He was a
Good old boy x3
He was a good old boy
Who forced his crotch on my head
He was
A good old boy x2
A blessed child of God
Who pushed me to the ground
And made sure I knew I'm a fag

You wanted it 'cause you're that way
(They said)
Those pussy tears run down your face
(They said)
You're acting like a bitch, you're gonna take it like a bitch
(They said)
I guess it's hard to argue with the
Good old boys x3

I saw their profiles
They're still good old boys
I bet they make their mama proud
The type of guy you'll probably have a beer with when you're back in town
They're good old boys
And if your daughter brought them home you'd be delighted
'Cause boys like them are rare these days
They're good old boys
You ask me why I'm dredging this up now
Should they have to pay for all those years ago 'till they're in the ground

And I don't know I say
I'm too busy crying to myself and feeling afraid

Of
Good old boys x3
Good old boys who look just like yourself
Good old boys x2
Blessed children of God
Looking out for good old boys
Saying "Fuck everyone else"
