Hell Yeah my neck is red,

Good for my word stand by what I said.

But why does this surprise you,

So many clues I thought you knew.

I like chicken fried steak and gravy,

Give me the extra calories ‘cause I am not lazy.

Hank and Patsy still rule my radio,

With Willie and Waylon don’t you know?

Fourteen hour days seem a break,

Writing it out with each rhyme I make.

Dawn to dusk I am in overdrive,

Thankful the bills are made and I survive.

Hell Yeah my neck is red,

With a farm girl wife next to me in bed.

I might be stuck in this city,

But business casual doesn’t fit me.

Give me blue jeans and a concert tee,

A fishin’ rod seems to set me free.

Happy with my simple life,

Peaceful times with my farm girl wife.

Good for my word stand by what I said,

Hell Yeah my neck is red.

Lol -hell yeah-
Love it. It's fast paced and down right down my fence line.
