The "r" Word Lyrics - Confederate Railroad

I am a Southern boy and I was brought up to treat everybody with respect 

And though I do my best you know sometimes it's mighty hard 

When folks use the 'R' word to talk about my neck 

They use that 'R' word when they talk about my neck 

All across this nation an effort's bein' made to be so politically correct 

It applies to almost every creed and nationality 

But they still use the 'R' word when they talk about my neck 

They still use the 'R' word when they discuss my neck 

CHORUS 

Call me a hillbilly, call me country-fried 

And I will not object 

Call me farm boy and I'll take that with pride 

Just don't use the 'R' word when you talk about my neck 

Don't use that 'R' word in reference to my neck 

That little word don't bother me at all when it is used 

Describing a sunset or a wine 

But surely they could find some less offensive substitute 

When referring to the cervical region of my spine 

That verbal combination just gets me every time 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Call me a clodhopper, call me a stump jumper, call me a pain in the tail 

Call me antiquated, backwater cracker, call me Ishmael 

Call me a knuckle draggin', inbred honky, call me a slack-jawed hick 

Call me an addle-brained, shallow-minded boondocker, I don't mind a bit 

Well that's all I've got to say, that's all she wrote, come on gang 

Let's bring her home
