Theme from "The Dukes of Hazzard" (Good Ol' Boys)

Jennings was the narrator in the 1975 movie Moonrunners, where he was credited as "The Balladeer." When CBS created a TV show based on the movie, they asked Jennings to reprise his role as narrator (again credited as "The Balladeer") and write the theme song. He came up with an outlaw-Country theme that fit the story of Bo and Luke Duke, who were good-hearted rebels from the fictional Hazzard county in The Dukes of Hazzard. Jennings appeared in all 121 episodes of the show until it ended in 1985.

The single version of this song was a bit different from the one used in the TV show, leaving out the line "Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods" and adding "You know my momma loved me, but she don't understand they keep showing my hands and not my face on TV," which is a reference to a shot in the show's open that shows Jennings playing guitar from the neck down.
