Unsocial Media
Verse
Drinking beer after beer at my favorite bar
Watching everyone stare at their phones
The only connections here are out in cyber space
We all might as well have stayed at home
CHORUS
I’d like to connect, but not elec-tronica-lly
Got to be a better way to meet a lady
Seems like true love should come n-a-t-u-r-a-l-l-y
It’s enough to drive a redneck crazy
Can’t help but smile and think about bullfrogs
When I hear someone say the word Redditt
Rather sit on the porch with my old hound dogs
Millennial’s, ‘like you know’, will never get it
Verse 2
Shouldn’t have to scroll to the left or the right
For a woman to make this boy feel sappy
Meet her at a bar or at a church so - cial
The way my dear departed Ma met my Pappy
Think I found an app to take a crack at tonight
Hope it makes me finally feel happy
Here I go, I’m gonna swipe to the right
Give me a reason to shave and dress snappy
CHORUS
I’d like to connect, but not elec-tronica-lly
Got to be a better way to meet a lady
Seems like true love should come n-a-t-u-r-a-l-l-y
It’s enough to drive a poor redneck crazy
Can’t help but smile and think about bullfrogs
When I hear someone say the word Redditt
Rather sit on the porch with my old hound dogs
Millennial’s, ‘like you know’, will never get it
Verse 3
Talked to a lady on my old PC
Then we met at a bar that weekend
Seems her profile was a bit untruthful
Turns out she was the missing LinkedIn
(Where’s Charles Darwin when you need him?)
Got a rotary phone hanging on my kitchen wall
Tired of searching on my old flip phone
Hoping and praying an old flame might call
Finally throw this lonely redneck a bone
Fade out with…
Can’t help but smile and think about bullfrogs
When I hear someone say the word Redditt
Rather just sit on the porch with my old hound dogs
Millennial’s, ‘like you know’, will never get it
Platforms? My last girl friend wore platforms to work!
Does that count?!?
(Like a frog croaking) Redditt, Redditt…sounds like a frog…ha ha
