What Is A Red Neck?
Just what is a red neck? I'd really like to know,
Because this name follows me, everywhere I go.
I'd really like to understand, why I stick out,
I am set in my ways, of that there is no doubt.
When I say, "Hey Y'all," every time I see my friends,
It gives them such amusement, their laughter never ends.
I have no designer clothes, blue jeans are for me,
No high heels, but cowboy boots, are all you will see.
I believe in my country, and God up above,
I am a bit old fashioned, when it comes to love.
I think for every woman, somewhere there's a man,
When it comes to loving, then give all that you can.
Out on the river bank, I love to catch a fish,
Then bring it home and fry it, quite a tasty dish.
My fancy sports car, is what's called a pick up truck,
I carry a rabbits foot, to improve my luck.
Some say that I'm a red neck, I do not agree,
For looking in the mirror, no red can I see.

lol you never came off as a redneck to me either. Rednecks are trashy and have no class and you seem quite the opposite, though you seem like a normal Southern woman.
"I am a bit old fashioned, when it comes to love.
I think for every woman, somewhere there's a man,
When it comes to loving, then give all that you can."
I agree with that! Anyway, this was cute, it was funny and I liked the rhyming.

Hmm... you never came off as a redneck to me, and reading this you seem like even less of a redneck. Yeah, most definetly, when someone earns the title redneck, they gotta try a lot harder than that! LOL! Nicely written!
