Redneck Love

BOBBY JOE AND MAYBELL TWO PEOPLE IN LOVE DOWN IN THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE

SHE WAS A REDNECK AND HE WAS A REDNECK, EVERYDAY THEY’D FISH AT THE OLD OAK TREE

THEIR AGE WAS CLOSELY RELATED, YEARS APART MAYBE ONE OR TWO

THEY’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER SINCE THEY WERE YOUNG, THIS LOVE WAS SURELY TRUE

THEY CAME FROM HILLBILLY FAMILIES, THEY MET EVERYDAY AT THE OLD TOWN WELL

NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THIS LOVE, FOR WHEN THEY MET AND KISSED THEY DID NOT TELL

ON THEIR LATE NIGHT EVENINGS SOME PEOPLE MAY THINK THIS IS BIZARRE

THEY’D SNEAK OUT TO THE OLD CLUBHOUSE AND WATCH RERUNS OF NASCAR

ONE DAY AT THE OAK TREE BOBBY JOE ASKED MAYBELL IF SHE WOULD MARRY HIM TODAY

SHE SAID YES I’LL MARRY YOU I WAS HOPING THAT’S WHAT YOU’D SAY

THEY LEFT RIGHT THEN AND HOPPED IN THE TRUCK AND WENT ALL AROUND

TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THEIR WEDDING THAT DAY IN THAT SMALL TENNESSEE TOWN

LATER ON THAT DAY AT THE OAK TREE EVERYBODY GATHERED

INSTEAD OF WATCHING A WEDDING VIDEO, EVERYONE WATCHED THE DUKES OF HAZARD

THEY DIDN’T HAVE NO FANCY FOOD, THEY HAD BEANS AND CORNBREAD

AND INSTEAD OF BEING MARRIED IN A CHAPEL THEY WERE TO BE MARRIED IN AN OLD SHED

IN THAT BROKEN DOWN SHED THEY SAID THEIR VOWS TO EACH OTHER

BUT THEN OLE PAPPY CAME IN AND SAID MAYBELL, BOBBY JOE’S YOUR HALF-BROTHER

WELL THEY GOT MARRIED ANYWAY, THEIR EXCUSE THEY DIDN’T KNOW

BUT THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER MAYBELL AND BOBBY JOE
