Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
A honky tonk redneck song, from George Strait.

You Sure Got This Old Redneck Feeling Blue

Oh, (G)I recall some (D)barroom brawls
That I (C)got myself in(G)to [C walkdown G]
Just a (Am)stitch or two (D)got me back to(G)gether
But what's it take to (D)ease the ache
That (C)came with losing (G)you. [C walkdown G]
I (Am)thought I was tough but goodbye's too much
This (D)healin' is takin' forever.

Chorus:
Woman, you (G)sure got this old redneck feelin' (Am) blue
What's (D)goin' on inside me I ain't (C)used to goin' (G)through
This old country (Am)boy's hillbilly (Dm)heart is breakin' in two
Yeah, you (D)sure got this old redneck feelin' (G) blue.

I've never seen anyhing hit me quite like this
You know the pain and loneliness they keep hangin' with me
Oh, this goodtime Joe took quite a blow
Oh, why'd you call it quits
It'll take some time to mend my mind and put me out of my misery.

Cowpie.
Several good ones by Johnny Cash.
