An Old Red Neck

He turned thirty-five on Monday, In his hair he had some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle, He likes it better the old way
So he wants a little garden in the back yard by the fence
He'd consume what he'd grow nowadays in self defense

He's never liked the twilight zone, cause it just don't make no sense
He gets off on country music, cause big hair left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave, but he's just too friggin' old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock 2 and the day Kurt Cobain died
How the music made him barf, and gave him a head ache
Yeah he thinks of Courtney Love, And he has to wonder why?

He's an old red neck and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old, should he grab on to the new
He's an old red neck...his new life ain't to bad
He ain't trying to change nobody He's just trying real hard to adjust

He was sure back in the eighties, that everyone was cool
Then they sent his friends off to Desert Storm on their senior trip
And they forced them to become a men while they was still a boys
And in each wave of tragedy, he waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him, But he just can't change no more

He's an old red neck and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old, Should he grab on to the new
He's an old red neck...his new life ain't to bad
He ain't trying to change nobody He's just trying real hard to adjust

Well he's always stayed away, from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's biking 'round
Sure is glad he quit the miller light
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from his hippie parents bong...just up and fade away

He's an old red neck and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old, should he grab on to the new
He's an old red neck...his new life ain't to bad
He ain't trying to change nobody, He's just trying real hard to adjust.
