That's Your Cousin

(album: Dirt - 2012)

I'm from a little country town where the sky is blue
Friday nights around here ain't a whole lot to do
So I went and called up sweet Becky Lou
Said how'd you like to go for a drive?

I took her in my truck to the railroad tracks
Lit a cozy fire for a little romance
I sang her a song and she reached for my hand
When daddy busted outta the woods
He said

[chorus:]
Stop it right there! hands in the air
We think there's somethin you kids ought to know
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin the sticks
Tryin to find you and dang that was close
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
But she's the daughter of an uncle related to you
You might not wanna go swimmin in the same gene pool
Don't be touchin that's your cousin

I turned around to look at becky and she looked at me
We broke the law of attraction almost instantly
Her pretty brown hair went to ugly and green
And she gave me my coat back

So we packed it in but the night was young
She said if you don't mind id still like to have fun
There's a show called deliverance on rerun
Down at the cinema

[chorus]

[repeat chorus:]
Stop it right there! hands in the air
We think there's somethin you kids ought to know
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin the sticks
Tryin to find you and dang that was close
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
But shes the daughter of an uncle related to you
We need a little separation in our gene pool
Don't be touchin that's your cousin

[tag:]
Well I ran into becky just the other day
At the new online internet cafe
She was lookin for a man from the ukraine
On eharmony
