Confederate Railroad - The R Word lyrics

rate me

<br>

I am a Southern boy and I was brought up to treat everybody with respect<br>

And though I do my best you know sometimes it's mighty hard<br>

When folks use the 'R' word to talk about my neck<br>

They use that 'R' word when they talk about my neck<br>

<br>

All across this nation an effort's bein' made to be so politically correct<br>

It applies to almost every creed and nationality<br>

But they still use the 'R' word when they talk about my neck<br>

They still use the 'R' word when they discuss my neck<br>

<br>

CHORUS<br>

Call me a hillbilly, call me country-fried<br>

And I will not object<br>

Call me farm boy and I'll take that with pride<br>

Just don't use the 'R' word when you talk about my neck<br>

Don't use that 'R' word in reference to my neck<br>

<br>

That little word don't bother me at all when it is used<br>

Describing a sunset or a wine<br>

But surely they could find some less offensive substitute<br>

When referring to the cervical region of my spine<br>

That verbal combination just gets me every time<br>

<br>

REPEAT CHORUS<br>

<br>

Call me a clodhopper, call me a stump jumper, call me a pain in the tail<br>

Call me antiquated, backwater cracker, call me Ishmael<br>

Call me a knuckle draggin', inbred honky, call me a slack-jawed hick<br>

Call me an addle-brained, shallow-minded boondocker, I don't mind a bit<br>

Well that's all I've got to say, that's all she wrote, come on gang<br>

Let's bring her home<br>

<br>
