The Lyrics
this is dedicated to Michael Pacholek
Don't go changing, you really please me
I love your old Ford pickup truck
I love your hounddogs and your shotguns
I bet they bring you lots of luck
Do you still have that mountain cabin
Where you make moonshine when it's dark?
I heard your best friends all call you Bubba
And that's the way you really are
Don't go tradin' your Smith & Wesson
Keep that bandana on your head
I know you love us Southern rednecks
In spite of all the things you've said
You're into compost conservation
You keep those chickens in your yard
Your corncob pipe--you keep it stoked, too
And that's the way you really are
I need to know that you will always be
Helping us dumbies save the right
We need your articulate, crackling wit
We're in an illiterate plight!
Go after those dern smelly Frenchmen
You threw out all of your French wine
Now what about that stash of Yoplait?
Michael, the way you are is fine........
I love your old Ford pickup truck
I love your hounddogs and your shotguns
I bet they bring you lots of luck
Do you still have that mountain cabin
Where you make moonshine when it's dark?
I heard your best friends all call you Bubba
And that's the way you really are
Don't go tradin' your Smith & Wesson
Keep that bandana on your head
I know you love us Southern rednecks
In spite of all the things you've said
You're into compost conservation
You keep those chickens in your yard
Your corncob pipe--you keep it stoked, too
And that's the way you really are
I need to know that you will always be
Helping us dumbies save the right
We need your articulate, crackling wit
We're in an illiterate plight!
Go after those dern smelly Frenchmen
You threw out all of your French wine
Now what about that stash of Yoplait?
Michael, the way you are is fine........

Great one Royce. I love Billy Joel music. I bet Billy himself would like this one.
