Dukes of Hazzard
Waylon Jennings · Encore Collection [BMG] [1999]
Just' two good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Staightnin' the curves
Flatnin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will.
Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.
Just' two good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.
I'm a good ol' boy
You know my momma loves me
But she don't undestand
They keep a showin my hands and not my face on TV.
Oh yea...
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you ever saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born.
Staightnin' the curves
Flatnin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will.
Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.
Just' two good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm

Than the law will allow.
I'm a good ol' boy
You know my momma loves me
But she don't undestand
They keep a showin my hands and not my face on TV.
Oh yea...
Dukes of Hazzard
Waylon Jennings delivers a gritty, country-rock rendition of the iconic 'Dukes of Hazzard' theme on his 1999 Encore Collection. The track captures the outlaw spirit that defined his career, blending his signature twang with a driving rhythm that echoes the film's rebellious energy. As a staple of his discography, this recording showcases his ability to reinterpret classic pop culture material through the lens of his unique, raw vocal style. The song stands as a testament to his influence on the outlaw country movement, proving his versatility beyond traditional honky-tonk themes while maintaining the authentic, unpolished edge that fans have come to expect from his work.
