Them Boys

look at them boys in the back of that truck
somebody oughta jerk a nut in their butts
out ridin' around like they own this town
racket turned all the way up

its 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
cuz that star quarterback's turnin them up

them boys don't know one thing about life
true love or trouble, struggle or strife
they think it's all just fun and games
like laws and rules and balls and chains

treat them girls like hearts don't break
treat no man like hands don't shake
I pray it's just a phase, their goin through
yeah, but what are we gonna do with them boys

i heard ol' frank's grandson got caught
with a case full of beer that smith boy bought
now ya'll didn't hear all of this from me
but I heard they got it with a fake I.D.

them boys don't know one thing about life
true love or trouble, struggle or strife
they think it's all just fun and games
like laws and rules and balls and chains

treat them girls like hearts don't break
treat no man like hands don't shake
I pray it's just a phase they're goin through
yeah, but what are we gonna do with them boys
yeah, them boys

lookin back on the times we've shared
rock and roll to these rockin chairs
the same ones our grand-daddy's sat in
by this old wood stove and this hardware store
talkin gossip, weather and war
and how much trouble we were in
oh you can bet they said back then

yeah, them boys don't know one thing about life
true love or trouble, struggle or strife
they think it's all just fun and games
like laws and rules and balls and chains

treat them girls like hearts don't break
treat no man like hands don't shake
I pray it's just a phase they're goin through
yeah, but what are we gonna do with them boys

they don't know a thing
bout love, bout life

them boys
