Original Note:
It is false that the song has no references to race. The term “good ole’ boys” is defined as “white” in the dictionary. Rural vigilante activity by white men as celebrated in this song is commonly known to include lynching of African Americans by the KKK. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/good%20old%20boy
