I have tried to work them out from his singing, but there are a few bits I need help with. I have got the following: Connecticut Redneck Song David Stephens Chorus I'm gonna run as fast as I can And get away from the rednecks in Alabama And their backwoods ways and conservative minds But now that I'm up North, I see rednecks all the time. At twenty-one years I was ready to forget And trade my life in Alabama for one in Connecticut I thought that New England would be a welcome relief But longer I stay I just multiply my grief Chorus Well needless to say, I wasn't prepared And now that I'm here, all I can do is stare At cow-fields and barns all over the place Sometimes I get the feelin' that I'm back in my home state Chorus Bridge Well don't get me wrong, it's better than it seems Especially when the autumn leaves are turnin' on the trees And down in Alabama, we don't get no snow Is that a reason to stay, or a reason to go? Now I'm used to seeing ? ? ? ? ? And tractors on the highway that bring traffic to a stall But there's one thing I did not expect to see That's an ? ? ? on my dancin' bar on Connecticut TV Chorus Well I guess that I got more than I bargained for When I left a town called ?? ? and moved to one called Stores Now I've been in both and there's one thing I know Everywhere's the same, no matter where you go! Chorus |

The lyrics are as written and performed by David Stephens, and I have had a request from one of my subscribers on YouTube for me to attempt to do a cover of this song. If you read the lyrics through, you will see that the singer ends up realizing that having moved up north, he was probably better off at home in Alabama, which as you point out is no doubt a beautiful state. I now have all the lyrics and have worked out a chord progression for the song and will be uploading it soon. |

And the towns mentioned are Foley, Alabama, and Storrs, Connecticut. |
