Marty Robbins once sang you give me a mountain, I've been given a few mountains in my life

Anybody who goes searching can find enough artistic things I've done that nobody can ever say I sold out.

My long hair just can't cover up my redneck.

I've never wanted anybody to like me because I had long hair or short hair, or that they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I smile.

Now I lay me down to cheat on the woman I love so, and if I die between these sheets I pray to God she'll never know.
