Driving the curve
Flating the hills
Someday the mouns might get them, but the law never will.

"Good Ole Boys"
Misheard Lyrics:
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.
Original Lyrics:

These are the correct lyrics since Mr. Jennings was asked to write a theme song specifically for the show, as well as being the narrator. Bo and Luke Duke are in this case the two modern day Robin Hoods, as well as the song constantly referring to 'they' 'their' and 'them.' Not to mention the opening line of 'Just two good ole boys.'

You'd better move away, you're standin' too close to the flame.
Once I mess with your mind, your little heart won't beat the same.
