[Verse 1]
I'm cleaning up them dirty words that I say, these days
Showing up to church a lot more on Sunday
I'm working on bad habit breaking
Cutting back on Copenhagen
Little less gas, little more brake in my Chevrolet
Whatever it takes 'cause
I got a gift from God sitting in the backseat
And I'ma need to be a little better if he's gonna wanna be like me

[Chorus]
I'm just a good ol' boy
Trying to be a good ol' man
Out here learning on the fly
Trying to do the best I can
To raise 'em up right
No Sir, yes Ma'am
I'm just a good ol' boy
Trying to be a good ol' man
Yes I am
Mh yeah

[Verse 2]
We're gonna be a lot of learning in between them inches on that door frame
I don't know a lot about a lot but I know I can teach him a few thing
How to swim, how to fish, how to drive a stick
Just like my daddy taught me
And he'll know how to say he's sorry
'Cause he'll hear that from me
[Chorus]
I'm just a good ol' boy
Trying to be a good ol' man
Out here learnin' on the fly
Trying do the best I can
To raise him up right
Lord knows I am
I'm just a good ol' boy
Trying be a good ol' man
Good ol' man

[Post-Chorus]
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man
(Good ol' man)
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man

[Bridge]
Making a man outta him
Is making a man outta me
Making a man outta him
So one day he'll be
Another good ol' boy
Yeah

[Chorus]
Just a good ol' boy
Trying to be a good ol' man
Out here learnin' on the fly
Trying to do the best I can
To raise him up right
Lord knows I am
I'm just a good ol' boy
Trying to be a good ol' man
Yes I am
[Post-Chorus]
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man
Good ol' man
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man
Yes I am
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man
Good ol' man
Oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying, oh I'm trying to be a good ol' man
Mmh yeah
