Nightmares of a Country Hick

There aren’t many things that scare a guy like me, 

Born in the’50’s in Tennessee. 

There are a few, though, that seem to vex us 

Good ole boys from God’s Country, Texas. 

When the four-wheel drive on your truck won’t engage 

You can’t get it fixed making minimum wage. 

Or your pistol jams as that rattler crawls by 

You just shake your head and stare at the sky. 

Then there’s going to Wal-Mart to get some new jeans 

Cause your best pair of Wranglers have ripped at the seams. 

They have every size but the one that just fits 

What can I do? Today is the pits. 

There is one nightmare, though, that’s the worst of them all 

When the ice cream called Blue Bell gets another recall. 

I awake in a sweat, with a start and a scream 

Blue Bell is fine, it was just a bad dream!
