[Verse]
E*
We were wilder than the Dukes of Hazzard
E*
Waylon, Willie, Hank even Haggard
A*
12s in the back cutoff flow masters
A*
Tearing up dirt roads and green pastures
E*
We weren't always up to no good
A
But we weren't always that bad for
[Chorus]
E
A bunch of boys, with nothin' to do
E
Everything used, wasn't nothin' new
A
Boys, with nothin' to lose
A
But a lure off a line, or a case pocket knife
E
Boys, with nothin' but time
E
And beer and whitetail deer to kill
A
A bunch of boys
A
Chasing girls, that had a thing for
E*
A bunch of boys with nothin'
E*
Man, we were somethin'
A* A*
For a bunch of boys with nothin'
[Verse]
E*
We'd spend five dollars on a quarter tank of gas
E*
Five more on a cold 6 pack
A*
John Prine time on an old 8 track
A*
Follow the smoke to where the party's at
E*
We'd let the tailgate down
A
Whenever we found
[Chorus]
E
A bunch of boys, with nothin' to do
E
Everything used, wasn't nothin' new
A
Boys, with nothin' to lose
A
But a lure off a line, or a case pocket knife
E
Boys, with nothin' but time
E
And beer and whitetail deer to kill
A
A bunch of boys
A
Chasing girls, that had a thing for
E*
A bunch of boys with nothin'
E*
Man, we were somethin'
A* A*
For a bunch of boys with nothin'
[Bridge]
E
We were just boys with nothin' but love
E
For our mommas, hometown
And the good lord above
A
Boys with nothin' to hide
A
Ya got what ya saw
Wrong or right
[Instrumental]
E* E* A* A*
[Chorus]
E
Just a bunch of boys, with nothin' to do
E
Everything used, wasn't nothin' new
A
Boys, with nothin' to lose
A
But a lure off a line, or a case pocket knife
E
Boys, with nothin' but time
E
And beer and whitetail deer to kill
A
A bunch of boys
A
Chasing girls, that had a thing for
E*
A bunch of boys with nothin'
E*
Man, we were somethin'
A* A* E
For a bunch of boys with nothin'
