Verse 1:

He's a hard workin' easy goin' country boy

He wouldn't harm a fly

Nadiene down at the hair salon

Promised she would be his bride

He took it real hard when she ran off

With the beauty supply salesman

But that's how romance goes sometimes

But Herschel don't understand



Chorus:

He'll play that same sad song on the old jukebox

Drink up every dime he's got

He'll peel out in his pickup truck

Sling gravel through the parkin' lot

You wouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bar

Or step on a copperhead snake

So if you cross his path you better beware

Been wounded by a woman

He's a hillbilly with a heartache



Verse:

He was gonna buy her a modular home

With no wax linoleum floors

Now his mama's all worried 'cause he dont' drop by

To watch wrestling anymore

He just rides around with a loaded shotgun

Hangin' in his rifle rack

If i was that smooth talkin' city boy

I'd sure be watchin' my back



Repeat Chorus



Bridge:

Them big ole arms that used to hold her tight

Could break about any man down

When a good ol' boy's been hurt real bad

He just don't give a damn



Instrumental break

Repeat chorus
