Redneck Girl

Redneck Girl
By Larry Linville

She’s a red-neck girl with a dress of blue
she got at Goodwill for a buck or two
She’s eatin’ some ribs at the bar-b-cue
And washin’ it down with a local brew.

Multi-colored hair braided on one side
Her hair spray comes from a can that says “Pride.”
Her mascara is at least a week old
and I’m thinkin’ it is starting to mold

she says “you’uns” and also “sho’ nuff”
as she gives that Marlborough one last puff.
When in trouble she will never say quit
She’ll clear her throat, and cough, and then she’ll spit.

When it appears she is all out of luck
She jumps into that rusty pick up truck
And loads up hogs in back and dogs in front
And heads to market as you hear them grunt.
