[Strophe]
                 E 
Just a good ol' boy 
                  A 
Never meaning no harm 
      E 
Beats all you never saw, 
        B7 
been in trouble with the law 
                        E 
Since the day they was born
[Strophe]
                  E 
Straightenin' the curves, yeah 
               A 
Flattenin' the hills 
     E                     B7 
Someday the mountain might get 'em 
                  E 
But the law never will
[Refrain]
             B7 
Making their way, 
  
the only way they know how 
  
That's just a little bit more 
                     E 
than the law will allow
[Instrumentale]

Making their way,

[Strophe]
                E 
I'm a good ol' boy 
                       A 
You know my mama loves me 
        E 
But she don't understand 
            B7 
they keep a-showin' my hands 
                    E 
and not my face on TV, haha
