Waylon was right. The only two things in life that make it worth living are guitars tuned good and firm feelin' women. That little ol' metaphor pretty much applies to the ladies, the music, and the movies we dig.
Who gives a fuck if mainstream culture makes Southerners the laughing stock of the world? Don't dwell on that too long or you'll get mad. Now that we think about it, we're getting mad. Seems it's okay to make fun of the good ol' boys and girls from the South. Being from the South makes you part of a culture - a Southern culture - the best culture known to man. But make fun of any other culture and the ACLU will be on your ass quicker than flies on shit.
But fuck 'em! We don't have an axe to grind. We just don't give a shit what anybody thinks.
So take back your 'nigga pleaz', your political correctness, and the cowboy from the Village People - now commonly known as Kenny Chesney.
We'll take the sweet tea.
And a two-lane blacktop.
And ladies with a Southern drawl.
And cicadas that growl in June.
And the humidity.
And the smell of cut grass.
And front porch hangin'.
And a house sittin' on land that no one can take.
And sayin' ma'am and thank you.
And being proud from the South.
And redneck women.
And working in the field until the sun goes down.
And having RT 4 Box 268 on your mailbox.
And Grizzly long cut straight.
And Russ Meyer.
And Peterbilt trucks.
And Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
And Highway 365.
And Ronnie in his trailer.
And Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
And our Merle and the Strangers records.
And Susan when she tried.
And the country music that left Nashville 30 years ago.
And Memphis, TN.
And Marshall Tucker Band.
And Bocephus.
And telling your mom your "going to town" because well, you live so fucking far out that you literally have to drive a ways just to "go to town".
And lil' ol Shooter doing his own thing.
And GMC Sierra Classic.
And Smith and Wesson.
And "Gimme back my bullets"
And fields of cotton.
And crawfish boils.
And Austin TX in 1974.
And kissin' cousins'.
And not giving a fuck if you don't understand.
And a patience with life that makes us say "I'll get to that shit tomorrow".
And finally, we'll take that slower pace we've all been dying for. We'll shut off the tvs around here, draw the shades, open a six pack and just let the rest of the world out there screw themselves into oblivion. That sounds reasonable to us! "Fuck y'alls world on up and shit" we say, just leave ours the fuck alone.
