[Hank Williams Jr. - Tired of Being Johnny B. Good lyrics]
I don't like instant ice tea
And I ain't crazy about dollar
A gallon self-service gasoline
They nearly broke me with the
High price of beef
And the funny thing is they think
They're putting this over on me
I've always been an upstanding citizen
But I am getting fed up now, my friends
And if you don't understand what I've said
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good
And I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
Yeah, I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
'Cause I don't believe everything
I've seen and read
And I work like hell just to
Keep a roof and a bed
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good
And I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
This country's gettin' in a kinda bad shape
When the gasoline profit's are up
Up and away
And I can barely live on my take home pay
There's a whole lot of people that
Agree to what I say
Don't tell me to ride a bus
And turn down my thermostat
When you're all runnin' around
In jets and Cadillacs
I can't take this lying down
We gotta try and fight back 'till
They believe what we said
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
Yeah, we're gonna be Johnny Rebs
'Cause we don't believe everything
We've seen and read
And we work like hell just to
Keep a roof and a bed
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
And I ain't crazy about dollar
A gallon self-service gasoline
They nearly broke me with the
High price of beef
And the funny thing is they think
They're putting this over on me
I've always been an upstanding citizen
But I am getting fed up now, my friends
And if you don't understand what I've said
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good
And I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
Yeah, I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
'Cause I don't believe everything
I've seen and read
And I work like hell just to
Keep a roof and a bed
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good
And I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
This country's gettin' in a kinda bad shape
When the gasoline profit's are up
Up and away
And I can barely live on my take home pay
There's a whole lot of people that
Agree to what I say
Don't tell me to ride a bus
And turn down my thermostat
When you're all runnin' around
In jets and Cadillacs
I can't take this lying down
We gotta try and fight back 'till
They believe what we said
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
Yeah, we're gonna be Johnny Rebs
'Cause we don't believe everything
We've seen and read
And we work like hell just to
Keep a roof and a bed
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
We're tired of being Johnny B Good
And we gotta be Johnny Rebs
