He was never voted Most Likely to Succeed

But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest
girl in all of Knox County

And his uncle got him on at Thompson's Tool and
Die

And now he;s a foreman and he's home each night
by five

Not Bad for a farmer's son

Pretty good for where he comes from

He's got a house full of love and a yard full of
kids

A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best
friends

And he ain't the richest man in Illinois

But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy

He got his picture in the paper right on the
front page

He's smilin' with a nine-point buck he took on
openin' day

Just last summer he bulit a deck on the house

And a fiew the family down to Florida to meet
Mickey Mouse

Not Bad for a farmer's son

Pretty good for where he comes from

He's got a house full of love and a yard full of
kids

A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best
friends

And he ain't the richest man in Illinois

But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy

Well he's a little league coach and a junior
college grad

A volunter fireman and a full-time dad

Not Bad for a farmer's son

Pretty good for where he comes from

He's got a house full of love and a yard full of
kids

A car, a truck, a fishin' boat and a dozen best
friends

And he ain't the richest man in Illinois

But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
