(I'm Just A) Redneck In A Rock And Roll Bar

Jerry Reed


Well, hello boogie palace, I’m sittin here alone
Listening to the music of electric saxophone
Now they ain’t no sexy dresses and they ain’t no beehive hair
Just boys who look like girls who look like boys who look like cher
I’m just a redneck in a rock and roll bar
I miss the fiddle and a steel guitar
I’m just a redneck in a rock and roll bar

I stopped in here to have a beer and ask some gal to dance
Well I been waiting patient now and I ain’t had the chance
Cause they ain’t played any waltzes, nothing like a texas swing
And with no belly rubbin’ music how in the hell can I do my thing

Well goodbye boogie palace, I’m –a getting out of here
Back to country music and back to lone star beer
Where the women look like women and they dress so you can tell
And the men are good old boys just drinkin’ beer and raisin hell
