RED NECK FRIEND Lyrics

Pretty little one

How has it all begun?

They're teaching you how to walk

But you're already on the run

Little one--

What you gonna do?

Little one--

Honey, it's all up to you

Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news

Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confused

Little one--

Come on and take my hand

I may not have the answer but I believe I got a plan

Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line

And see if we can't get in touch with a very close friend of mine

But let me clue you in, it ain't like him

To argue or pretend--

Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Well they've got a little list of all those things of which they don't approve

They've got to keep their eyes on you or you might make your move

Little one--

I really wish you would

Little one--

I think the damage would do you good

Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line

We're going to forget all about the battle

It's gonna feel so fine

'Cause he's the missing link, the kitchen sink--

Eleven on a scale of ten

Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Honey you shake and I'll rattle and we'll roll on down the line

I'm going to try to swing you up into my saddle

And then we'll run but you'll think we're flyin'

Now honey don't just stand there

Lookin' like this dream will never end

Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
