For Some Ol' Redneck Reason

(album: Off The Beaten Path - 2013)

I love tearing down some country road as the red sun's sinking down
Nothing but corn and cotton fields for miles and miles around
With every twist and turn, there's another million dollar view
Some folks might not see it
But for some old redneck reason I do

I still wear my beat-up boots and my old worn-out jeans
I still say the blessing when I sit down to eat
And you can bet I mind my manners every time my mama walks in the room
Some folks don't think that matters
But for some old redneck reason I do

for some old redneck reason, sometimes I get the feeling
Maybe I give too much of a damn
I'm a little old fashion leaning, out of style and out of season
But I reckon that's just the way I am

Sometimes I lay here thinking 'bout the good times that we had
Wonder why it all went wrong or the night it all went bad
And I probably shouldn't call you up, thinking I can patch things up with you
Oh, but when I get to drinking for some old redneck reason I do

for some old redneck reason, sometimes I get the feeling
Maybe I give too much of a damn
I'm a little old fashion leaning, out of style and out of season
But I reckon that's just the way I am

Oh, how do you feel about it Charlie?

I was standing behind a couple teenage kids at a high school football game
They didn't take their hats off when the national anthem played
And I felt like jerkin a knot in their tail, for disrespecting that old Red, White and Blue
Well, maybe I shouldn't get fighting mad
But for some old redneck reason I do
