Genuine Redneck Alabama is # 1

Went to do some Karaoke last night and one would expect a lot of singers started out with yelling Roll Tide! So as my father once accused me of I decided to deviate from the norm. The Song I turned in was Genuine Redneck. So my time comes up and I say I would like to start this with a moment of prayer for those poor California folks. Can ya'll just imagine 12 to 15,000K of us hitting town at one time. As for me, I did the smart thing. I purchased a bunch of Prozac stock early in the week and it went thru the roof. Then I launched into the first two verses.

Start of Song

Well I know my place and I'm not ashamed to say it
No darlin' it even makes me proud
If there's one place I know where I'm never alone
It's where I feel most at home

It's in a room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

*****

At this point there is about a 12 bar break in the song for music. I walked to my table picked up my Beer and said. You said what Darling? I can't smoke up in here? This is a damn bar ain't it honey. Hey Bubba, did you hear that, now don't that beat everything; I was wondering why they didn't have no damn ash trays so I drank a beer fast.

**************

Then at this point I finished the song to the laughter of the crowd with a bunch of ye-hawing going on.

Well darlin' right or wrong where I do belong
It don't come with a crystal chandelier
I'd have to go out on a limb to say I fit in
With all the social high class atmosphere
Why we could slip out the back door and find my pickup truck
Darlin' I'm just wishin' I was in the middle of

A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

Now there may be those who look down their nose
At the company I keep
Oh but just to let you know as good people go
If you don't like them you won't like me
You might find the front door propped open wide
But you'll know you've been somewhere been inside

A room full of real live genuine rednecks
Bonafide backwood misfits
Goodtimin' hillbilly lunatics
With cold beer and jukebox music
I don't like crowds but this one's mine
'Cause everybody here is genuine redneck

Good time bonafide real live genuine full blooded redneck

Roll Tide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
