        D         A         G          D              G              A 
 When I was a kid Uncle Remus he     put me to      bed 
 Well nothing makes a sound in the   night like the wind does 
 When I was in school I ran with the kid down the   street 

          D                          G             D           G      A 
 with a picture of Stonewall       Jackson       above my    bed 
 But    you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like  I was 
 and I  watched him burn        himself up on    Bourbon and Speed 

             b                              A  
 Then      daddy came in to kiss his      little man 
 The       smell of Cape Jasmine thru the window screen 
 but I was smarter than most and          I could choose 

        b                               A 
 with gin on his breath and the Bible in his hand 
 with John R. and the wolfman kept me company 
 learned to talk like the man on the  six o'clock news 

 G                               A  
 and he talked about honor and things I should know 
 by the light of the radio     by  my bed 
 when I was eighteen, Lord     I hit the road 

        G                             A7 
 Then he staggered a little when he went out the door 
 with Thomas Wolfe whispering       in my head 
 but  it doesn't seem to matter how far I go 


        D                             G           A        G        A7 
R: And I still hear the soft southern wind in the live oak trees 

         D                  G            A      G            e         A7 
   those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me, Hank and Tennessee 

      G                    A                           G 
   I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be  

                          A                  D  
   So what do you do with good ole boys like me
