"Bad Bad Boys" lyrics

If old Hank had got along with his women
And that bottle hadn't got George down
If the Hag hadn't went to San Quentin
Tell me, where would we be now?
Oh, if Waylon woulda listened to Jessie
And Cash had really walked the line
Paycheck hadn't been arrested
Oh, we'd have it just words that rhyme

It's a sad, sad thing
When a man's life comes untangled
Who says you gotta be a saint
To sing like an angel?
All that pain is a crying shame
I sure hate that they had to go through it
But them bad, bad boys
Made some good country music

If Willie hadn't gone back to Austin
Left Nashville in a cloud of smoke
Bocephus hadn't carried his family tradition
And rallied friends down in Muscle Shoals
Just think if Kris hadn't fought with the devil
And felt that Sunday morning coming down
Oh, them good old songs that turn us on
Would be nowhere to be found

It's a sad, sad thing
When a man's life comes untangled
Who says you gotta be a saint
To sing like an angel?
All that pain is a crying shame
I sure hate that they had to go through it
But them bad, bad boys
Made some good country music, yeah

Woo

All that pain is a crying shame
I sure hate that they had to go through it
But them bad, bad boys
Made some good country music
Yeah, them bad, bad boys
Made some damn good country music

Yeah, they did
