Good Ole Boys Lyrics by Caleb King
Sometimes a good ole boy can have a heart that feels like heavy stone
Doesn’t open up and finds himself just sittin’ all alone
It’s hard to hold the goodness in the darkness that he sees
Oh Lord, won’t You come and set him free
A calloused heart can’t help it
When it’s held in an angry fist
All the screamin’ down the hallways
You’ll just keep your feelings hid
It starts a fire that burns and burns
No wonder he’s this way
Like father like son
There’s curses he can’t break
Oh the Holy Ghost
He walks gravel roads
All the highs and lows
Where nobody else will go
The hollers and the backwoods sure run deep
But He don’t quit
That’s where He’ll be
Finding us cryin’ them tears nobody else sees
He loves good ole boys like me
The good love of a woman
You’d think that’d be enough
But she can’t get through the barb wire
Or the whiskey in his cup
It’s gonna take a miracle
Some say he can’t be saved
But the Lord sure hears the prayers
That woman prayed
Oh the Holy Ghost
He walks gravel roads
All the highs and lows
Where nobody else will go
The hollers and the backwoods sure run deep
But He don’t quit
That’s where He’ll be
Finding us cryin’ them tears nobody else sees
He loves good ole boys like me
Oh
He loves good ole boys like me
Oh
Loves good ole boys like me
Oh
Loves good ole boys like me
Yeah
Some people call it testimony
But He just called it life
He’s had all of the chances that some folks
Just don’t get twice
He’s finally found a little peace
Don’t feel the need to run
All we can say is look what the Lord has done
Yeah all we can say is look what the Lord has done
Cause the Holy Ghost
He walks gravel roads
All the highs and lows
Where nobody else will go
The hollers and the backwoods sure run deep
But He don’t quit, that’s where He’ll be
Finding us cryin’ them tears nobody else sees
And I know what I’m talkin’ about
And I sure know what I’ve seen
Oh He loves the good ole boys like me
Good ole boys like me
Yeah them good ole boys like me
