If the Good Lord’s a Good Ol’ Boy Lyrics by The ​eXcavators

The e​Xcavators

2015

[Verse 1]
I got laid off last December
Down at the lumber mill
And unemployment's just enough
To not pay all of my bills
Down and out of options
Down on bended knees
Praying that the Good Lord's
A good ol' boy like me
[Chorus]
'Cause if the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
He'll lend a hand to the unemployed
Good ol' boys have fallen on hard times
If he gets around in a four-wheel drive
And likes underdogs in unfair fights
Then I think I'll make it by and by
'Cause if the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
I'm gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
Things sure are changing
In this twenty-first century
Good ol' boys like us, man
Might be a dying breed
Where hard working hands still [?] a man
You know, I'll never be obsolete
'Cause if Jesus was a carpenter
He was a good ol' boy like me
[Chorus]
If the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
He'll lend a hand to the unemployed
Good ol' boys have fallen on hard times
If he gets around in a four-wheel drive
And likes underdogs in unfair fights
Then I think I'll make it by and by
'Cause if the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
I'm gonna be alright
[Bridge]
I ain't askin' for a handouts
All I need's [a helping hand?]
'Cause there ain't no [victories I've got planned outs?]
All I want's a chance to be a working man
[Chorus]
And if the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
He'll lend a hand to the unemployed
Good ol' boys have fallen on hard times
If he gets around in a four-wheel drive
And likes underdogs in unfair fights
Then I think I'll make it by and by
'Cause if the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
I'm gonna be alright
If the Good Lord's a good ol' boy
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be alright
