Hillbilly Honeymoon

Some people just don't get it
And forget things way too soon
So I'll explain just one more time
About the hillbilly honeymoon

We don't have shotgun weddings
Not like they used to do
We invite our family not kinfolk
Just like the rest of you

Our families are never feuding
Like the Hatfields and Mcoys
We don't all live in the boondocks
Like the hillbilly name employs

It's a wedding dance not hoedown
And we never dance in a square
We eat food not vittles
And we always plenty to share

We never marry our cousins
At least not where I'm from
'Cept the ones on Jerry Springer
Those folks are just plain dumb

All our women still have their teeth
They don't keep them in a jar
Don't call our houses broken-down shacks
Cause that's just going too far

I've told you about our weddings
And I hope to see you soon
The rest I'll leave to your imagination
About the hillbilly honeymoon
