Jon Wolfe - When the Good Ol Boys Age Out Lyrics

When the Good Ole Boys Age Out
Jon Wolfe/Dave Brainard/Tony Ramey

When I was just a kid grandad told me son this world’s a changing fast
The one I that grew up in Lord seems like it just ain’t gonna last
He said I feel the storm a comin the winds of change are blowin strong
Son, I’m afraid when the good ole boys age out the Good Ole Days are gone

It wasn’t 20 years ago hard work was part of the American brand
Now it seems like folks are workin’ awful hard to do little as they can
Since when did all the grinders and believers become the cause of all that’s wrong
I’m afraid when the good ole boys age out the Good Ole Days are gone

CH
Here’s to the hand that swings the hammer pours the concrete and bends the steel
To the hand that steers the wheel out on the tractor to the soldiers in the field
Everything they do ain’t worth nothin’ if we don’t pass it on
I’m afraid when all the good ole boys age out the good ole days are gone

Why does all the pride we used to feel, feel so far away
The stars and stripes that used to be forever is on borrowed time these days
I ain’t trying to make nobody mad lord but there’s something goin’ on
And I’m afraid when the good ole boys age out the good ole days are gone

CH
Here’s to the hand that swings the hammer pours the concrete and bends the steel
To the hand that steers the wheel on the tractor to the soldiers in the field
Ahh…Everything they do ain’t worth nothin’ if we don’t pass it on..and on….
I’m afraid when all the good ole boys age out the good ole days are gone

You got to do all you can son cause freedom is an easy thing to lose
And there’s Folks tha have fought and died just to fly that old red, white, and blue
You see every generation lord is only here for so long
And I’m afraid when all the good ole boys age out the good ole days are gone

TAG
I’m afraid when all the good ol boys age out the good ol days are gone
