Well, every time I turn around
I see some dude dressed like a clown
Baggy pants and a cap on sideways
They don't say ma'am or sir no more
They won't even hold a door for a woman
Well, it's a crying shame

Tell me, where did all the good ol’ boys go
Must be workin’ on a farm
Or out there chasin’ rainbows
Are they back in Oklahoma
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ol’ boys go

Are they sitting on an old bar stool
Tellin’ lies and cuttin’ the fool
Talkin’ about the way it was and wishin’
Or down in Orange Beach, Alabama
Hanging out at the Flora-Bama
Headed out the pass and goin’ fishing

Tell me where did all the good ol’ boys go
Must be workin’ on a farm
Or out there chasin' rainbows
Are they hidin’ down in Georgia
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ol’ boys go

Are they drivin’ cattle and ridin’ high
Livin’ life the cowboy way
Or down there on the front line
Fightin’ off the bad guys
Givin’ them hell for the good ol’e USA

Tell me where did all the good ol’ boys go
Must be workin’ on a farm
Or out there chasin’ rainbows
Are they back in Oklahoma
Or at a Texas rodeo
Tell me where did all the good ol’ boys go
Yeah, just where the hell did the good ol’ boys go

I know where a few of them are
Down there in southern Oklahoma
There's even some down in Texas
I even saw one in New York one time
You know what I'm talking about, ladies
Hell, I'll hold the door for you
I'll hold your purse for you
And I'll even go pick up some feminine products for you
That's what a good ol’ boy would do
