He was never voted "Most Likely to Succeed"
But still he married Tammy Bell, the prettiest girl in all of Knox County
And his uncle got him on at Thompson`s Tool and Die
And now he;s a foreman and he`s home each night by five
Not Bad for a farmer`s son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He`s got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin` boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain`t the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
He got his picture in the paper right on the front page
He`s smilin` with a nine-point buck he took on openin` day
Just last summer he bulit a deck on the house
And a fiew the family down to Florida to meet Mickey Mouse
Not Bad for a farmer`s son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He`s got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin` boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain`t the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
Well he`s a little league coach and a junior college grad
A volunter fireman and a full-time dad
Not Bad for a farmer`s son
Pretty good for where he comes from
He`s got a house full of love and a yard full of kids
A car, a truck, a fishin` boat and a dozen best friends
And he ain`t the richest man in Illinois
But not bad, not bad for a good ole boy
