He's a Good Ole Boy
Unveiling the Complex Dynamics of Good Ole Love
Lyrics
To steal him's been your number one ambition
To steal him has been the main goal or desire.
Bur sister here's one safe that you don't have to crack
The speaker suggests there's an easier way to win him over without resorting to illegal activities.
I'll hand him over under one condition
The speaker is willing to give him up under certain conditions.
A deal's a deal and you can't give him back
Once a deal is made, there's no turning back.
Cause he's a good ole boy
Describing him as a traditional, perhaps stereotypical, "good ole boy."
Good for nothing
Highlighting negative qualities—lazy, unreliable.
Good at lying, good at loving
Capable of deceit and affection.
Good at leaving
Tendency to leave when faced with responsibilities.
When the rent comes due
Leaving when financial obligations arise.
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
Contrasting the speaker as a traditional "good ole girl."
So I'll give him to you
The speaker is willing to give him away.
Go ahead and take him with my blessing
Granting permission to take him, perhaps sarcastically.
He might even let you be his Sunday girl
Suggesting he may commit to another person on Sundays.
If your not used to worrying and guessing
Warning about potential challenges and uncertainties in the relationship.
He'll soon shake up your cozy little world
He will disrupt the tranquility of the other person's life.
Cause he's a good ole boy
Reiterating his negative traits.
Good for nothing
Emphasizing his lack of positive qualities.
Good at lying, good at loving
Reiterating his skills in deception and affection.
Good at leaving
Reiterating his tendency to leave when faced with responsibilities.
When the rent comes due
Repeating the idea of leaving when financial obligations arise.
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
Repeating the contrast between the speaker and him.
So I'll give him to you
Reaffirming the speaker's willingness to give him away.
Cause he's a good ole boy
Reiterating his negative traits.
Good for nothing
Emphasizing his lack of positive qualities.
Good at lying, good at loving
Reiterating his skills in deception and affection.
Good at leaving
Reiterating his tendency to leave when faced with responsibilities.
When the rent comes due
Repeating the idea of leaving when financial obligations arise.
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
Repeating the contrast between the speaker and him.
So I'll give him to you
Reaffirming the speaker's willingness to give him away.
He's a good ole boy and I'm a good ole girl
Final repetition of the contrast between the speaker and him.
And I'll hive him to you
Final confirmation of the speaker's intention to give him away.
