Kickin' hippies' asses and raisin' hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff Beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey Liquor
He's got a '57 GMC pickup truck
Got a gun rack
"A Goat Roper needs love too" sticker

(CHORUS)

M is for the mud flaps she gave me for my pickup truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for T-Bird
H is for Haggard
E is for Eggs
R is for Redneck

(Chorus)"

I do live in Kansas after all.

Hey, jc.

I'd never heard of Ray, until a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to seek some of his older work out.

Thanks for the sympathy response, buddy.

I can't get enough of his latest release -- been spinning it at home and in the car.

Cheers,

Bill
