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
