[Intro: Rooster] He said boy you got some big ol' shoes to fill Kick back a few shots of the jar when you want to Never leave a good friend astray These guns I'm passin' down son they ain't toys
[Verse 1: Rooster] I was raised in a place that was known to be rough I was washed on the bank down a decent bluff The muddy river water runnin' was a lesson for me It taught me 'bout the only way to get to the sea And it ain't about the race that was back in the day See you can't desecrate them old southern ways My great-granddaddy always flew confederate flags Papa Reilly did too and so did my dad It's funny I'ma let this lesson live on Got to law down the law with two boys of my own Show them how to do it when I am dead and gone I can rest easy knowin' that their southern strong
[Chorus: Rooster] I said boy you got some big ol' shoes to fill A lot of workin' like a dog out in them fields Kick back a few shots of the jar when you want to Never take it too far Never leave a good friend astray Got to mean what you say a good firm handshake These guns I'm passin' down son they ain't toys oh yeah A few rules for a southern boy
[Verse 2: Uncle Snap] I'm rollin' through the backwoods, sippin' on a that good Thinkin' about a time it was just some ol' flat wood Chain gang slings and breakin' them oaks And Uncle Noodle taught me all about makin' them roads I thought I was tough but not half as damn tough and rough As my daddy and grand daddy was Hey, spread your wings and go act strong But eventually your roots will bring you back home We got different ways of cope'in and movin' along But me I ride the same roads that I grew up on That I blew up on and now you up on And I'll never forget the ones dead and gone
[Chorus: Rooster] I said boy you got some big ol' shoes to fill A lot of workin' like a dog out in them fields Kick back a few shots of the jar when you want to Never take it too far Never leave a good friend astray Got to mean what you say a good firm handshake These guns that I'm passin' down son they ain't toys Just some rules for a southern boy
[Outro: Rooster] He said boy you got some big ol' shoes to fill Kick back a few shots of the jar when you want to Never leave a good friend astray These guns that I'm passin' down son they ain't toys Just some rules for a southern boy
