Well, I just heard from my buddy today that we have to learn this song for our summer gigs in Michigan so he asked me to download it and find the lyrics (Thanks for posting them above, Joe! Mudcat's always my first and often last stop for lyrics). Just finished downloading the MP3 too and am listening to it now. I gotta say I'm not looking forward to singing it. Willie, what are you doing on this one?
And I really don't see anything racist in it, myself, but it kind of reminds me of another piece-of-shit song, Hank Williams Jr.'s "Country Boys Can Survive". Always hated that one too.
At least we don't have to learn any David Allan Coe material. I'm a-drawin' the line hyar, bah gawd!
Now I have to print it up and scribble in some chords for tomorrow night's practice. At least I learned a good song today: John Hiatt's "My Dog and Me" to offset things a bit.
