Interesting bobert, your song, what was described by the great country singer David allan Coe as the ultimate country song, was written by Chicago folksinger great, the late Steve Goodman.

Mted's allusion to red necks, white sox, and blue ribbon beer is a song title from a great honky-tonk favorite orignally written and performed by Johnny Russell. Russell also wrote the Beatles/Buck Owens hit, Act Naturally. He also wrote Catfish John (my favorit version by allsion krauss), I'm Makin' Plans for the future, and many other great country hits.

Now what else do you want to know about this great genre of American music?
