A7
My cousin Bobby's on the county road
A7
Pickin' up trash for the car he stole
A7 D
You see him in them orange clothes, you'd swear he's evil
A7
He's had sticky fingers since he was a kid
A7
If it wasn't nailed down, considered it his
A7 D
For the lyin' cheatin' dog he is, he's good people
[Chorus]
G D
Good people, they ain't bad
E
Good people...
A7 A7
They get your back in a fight, loan you couple bucks
A7 A7
Buy you a beer when you're down on your luck
A7 G7 D
Too bad there ain't more of us good people
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A7
Girl down the street in that double-wide
A7
She ain't ashamed of them no tan lines
A7 D
She's 36-24-35 and barely legal
A7
She got a big ol' tattoo on her back
A7
All the wives on the block say she's white trash
A7 D
She may not be high class but she's good people
[Chorus]
G D
Good people, they ain't bad
E
Good people...
A7 A7
They'll bring you food when you're sick, feed your dog when you're gone
A7 A7
Cover you up when you pass out on the lawn
A7 G7 D
Why we gotta look down on good people
[Instrumental]
A7 D
[Chorus]
G D
Good people, they ain't bad
E
Good people...
A7 A7
Give you the shirt off their back, never steer you wrong
A7 A7
Go out of their way to make you feel at home
A7 G7 D
Raise hell stand up let me hear you if you're one of us...good people
