One of the Boys

"One of the Boys" One of those tote carrying cardholdin' members Levi jeans wearing tobacco can imprinted baseball cap with the accessorized fishhook in it An ol' southern boy who likes his toys, his Jim Bean and Roy argues over Ford or Chevrolet. Pick-up truck lifted windows non tinted Shoots his guns proper like, and tilts his hat when he tells a lady goodnight You might think I was talkin about a full blooded red neck but that'd be your own misconception Color was never mentioned just the ends and outs of a southern description See sometimes city boys read a little Mark Twain and watch a little Andy Griffith too So don't put color where it don't belong this here write is just proof, we need more than eyes to see the wonder of our humanity. Now pass some of that whisky and describe your definition of black to me. Bet it can't be described by just one color.
