Them Boys - Original Version

Look at them boys in the back of that truck

Somebody oughta jerk a night in their butts

Out riding around like they own this town

Racket turned all the way up

It's too early for school to let out

The pastor's boy just threw a cigarette out

Sure hope there ain't beer in them cups

'Cause all-star quarterback's turning up

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love and trouble, struggle and strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules, balls and chains

Treat little girls like hearts don't break

Treat no man like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're going through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

Heard old Frank's grandson got caught

With a case full of beer at Smith Bourne ball

Y'all didn't hear all of this from me

But I heard he got in with a fake ID

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love and trouble, struggle and strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules, balls and chains

Treat little girls like hearts don't break

Treat no man like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're going through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

Them boys

Looking back on the times we've shared

From rock and roll to these rocking chairs

The same ones our granddads sat in

By this old wood stove in this hardware store

Talking gossip of weather and war

And how much trouble we were in

Oh you can bet they said it back then

Them boys don't know one thing about life

True love and trouble, struggle and strife

They think it's all just fun and games

Like laws and rules, balls and chains

Treat little girls like hearts don't break

Treat no man like hands don't shake

I pray it's just a phase they're going through

Yeah but what are we gonna do with them boys

They don't know a thing

About love, about life

Them boys
