Jackson Browne, “Redneck Friend”

Jackson Browne, “Redneck Friend” from the album For Everyman, 1973. A great album! See, back then we were all hippies and all hippies hated rednecks. Now you supposed to be a redneck who votes for Trump! In almost 50 years, we’ve managed to literally go backwards. Congratulations, Americans!

Pretty little one How has it all begun? They’re teaching you how to walk But you’re already on the run Little one What you gonna do? Little one Honey, it’s all up to you

Now your daddy’s in the den shootin’ up the evening news Mama’s with a friend, lately she’s been so confused Little one Come on and take my hand I may not have the answer, but I believe I got a plan

Honey you shake and I’ll rattle, and we’ll roll on down the line And see if we can’t get in touch with a very close friend of mine But let me clue you in, it ain’t like him To argue or pretend Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Well they’ve got a little list of all those things of which they don’t approve They’ve got to keep their eyes on you, or you might make your move Little one I really wish you would Little one I think the damage would do you good

Honey you shake and I’ll rattle and we’ll roll on down the line We’re going to forget all about the battle It’s gonna feel so fine ‘Cause he’s the missing link, the kitchen sink Eleven on a scale of ten Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend

Honey you shake and I’ll rattle, and we’ll roll on down the line I’m going to try to swing you up into my saddle And then we’ll run but you’ll think we’re flyin’ Now honey don’t just stand there Lookin’ like this dream will never end Honey let me introduce you to my redneck friend
