Good Ol’ Man Lyrics by Drew Green
I’m cleaning up them dirty words that I say these days
Showing up to church a lot more on Sunday
Working on bad habit-breaking
Cutting back on Copenhagen
Little less gas, little more brake in my Chevrolet
Whatever it takes, ’cause
I got a gift from God sitting in the back seat
And I’ma need to be a little better
If he’s gonna wanna be like me
I’m just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good ol’ man
Out here learning on the fly
Trying to do the best I can
To raise him up right
No sir, yes ma’am
I’m just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good ol’ man
Yes, I am
Gonna be a lot of learning in between them inches on that doorframe
I don’t know a lot about a lot, but I know I could teach him a few things
How to swim, how to fish, how to drive a stick
Just like my daddy taught me
And he’ll know how to say he’s sorry
‘Cause he’ll hear that from me
I’m just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good ol’ man
Out here learning on the fly
Trying to do the best I can
To raise him up right
Lord knows I am
I’m just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good ol’ man (Good ol’ man)
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man (Good ol’ man)
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man
Making a man out of him
Is making a man out of me
Making a man out of him
So one day he’ll be
Another good ol’ boy, yeah
Just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good old man
Out here learning on the fly
Trying to do the best I can
To raise him up right
Lord knows I am
I’m just a good ol’ boy
Trying to be a good ol’ man
Yes, I am
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man (Good ol’ man)
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man
Yes, I am
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man (Good ol’ man)
Oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying, oh I’m trying
Oh, I’m trying to be a good ol’ man (Mmm, yeah)
