Augustus

Country

 

Big city folks are prone to make jokes

Whine and groan about country blokes                

 Back roads religion, huntn\', and guns      

 Little ambition, simple, homespun.    

 

There\'s that Redneck motivation

Them that lack Ed du ma ca tion.

They\'ll buy Mama a double wide,

Old rusty swing sets right outside.

 

Grammy and gramps still together

Marriage survived stormy weather.

Their heroes are real live people.

Villains lie and long to weasel.

 

Every kid knows who\'s his daddy,

Mom is close, no need for nanny.

Treat your parents with due respect

Cheat or fib gits your fanny wept.

 

Country morals when put to test

Fewer quarrels and less distress.

Whether rural or city we call them equal,

But God is still special amongst these good people.
