[F] Just a good old boy, never [Bb] meanin' no harm, [D] he's all you ever
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, I got an idea, I got an idea.
I'll tell ya, you [Gb] know, people have asked me every day since I got the part of Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard,
they ask me how I got the part of Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard.
Y'all wanna know how.
Okay, now, I did a whole bunch of theater and guitar playing and magic and all kinds of things all around Atlanta.
And one day I was working in the Omni in a thing called the Crazy Horse Saloon Review.
And I heard that Warner Brothers was upstairs in the Omni casting a television show.
And I found out that they wanted 100% Southern, no actors, good old boys, somewhere in their 20s.
So I said, well, shoot, shoot, I got that lick.
But I'm gonna need a couple of things.
So what I [G] did, if I can not tear my guitar up here, I went [Ab] and I got myself a few little props.
Let me get myself untied for [Bm] the part.
I went, walked [B] upstairs, looked in my closet and found me an old T-shirt.
[N] There it is.
Old T-shirt.
[Gb]
And
[Ab]
I put this one on.
Just like that.
[B] Now, y'all know that a good old boy is no good without a pickup truck.
[Dm] So I went out [N] and I borrowed myself the prettiest little pickup truck you've ever seen in your life.
I got in it.
I said, thank you much.
Bye.
Got in it and started driving down the road.
And the friend of mine that I borrowed it from came running out in his underwear with this hat in his hand.
And he said, wait a minute, you can't take the pickup truck without the hat.
Goes with the truck.
So I said, OK.
He said, you want to be a good old boy, you got to wear this.
There it is.
Good old boy hat.
But there was something missing.
There was something that was not quite right.
You know what it is?
A good old boy ain't a good old boy without a good old can of PBR.
[C] [Bm] Right.
So [F] I had my shirt, I had my hat, I had my PBR, I had [Ab] my pickup truck and I was ready.
I was 110 percent Southern.
I was ready.
So I walked [N] upstairs.
It was on the 13th floor.
Must have been my lucky day.
Hey, how y'all doing?
And what I did, I got up there.
I walked right in through the door.
Just kind of started in through the door.
I said, hi, how y'all doing?
And I sat down and I looked at Warner Brothers man right [Abm] dead in the eye.
Of course, I don't know which one of the Warner Brothers it was.
And [Gb] I looked him in the eye and I said, what [D]
[Gb] kind of character y'all looking for?
And then all I had to [Eb] do was audition with about 250 people every night of the week.
Screen test on every [Dm] Friday night for five and a [N] half weeks in Hollywood, California.
And then I got the part.
[Gb] They picked me for the part.
I couldn't believe it.
[N] And just to tell you and show you that [Gb] Warner Brothers [Db] people out there know exactly what they're looking for.
The minute they see it, these producers are so [N] sharp.
The first thing they made me do is take off the shirt.
[F] [Bb] Get rid of this.
[F] They [Bb] made me trade in my white [F] pickup truck for an orange [Bb] car.
They call it General [F] Lee.
[Bb] [F] Told me to keep my feet to myself.
Just a good old boy.
He didn't [Bb] know how.
[F] He's all you [C] ever saw.
Been in trouble with the law [F] since the day they was born.
Straightening the curves.
[Bb] Flattening the hills.
[F] You know, someday [C] the mountain might get him, but [F] the law never will.
[C] They're making their way.
The only way they know how.
Well, that's just a little bit more than [F] the law would allow.
Just a good old boy.
They wouldn't change if [Bb] they could.
[F] You know, they're fighting the [C] system like a two [F]-monitor on his hood.
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, I got an idea, I got an idea.
I'll tell ya, you [Gb] know, people have asked me every day since I got the part of Bo Duke on the Dukes of Hazzard,
