Redneck Karaoke Bar

I’ll concede that
I may have led you on
With a few key missing facts
Or maybe just the one
Oh I know I should be strong
But you asked my favorite song
And rocket man you sang it all damn night

At the redneck karaoke bar
You screamed my name and kissed me hard
I loved you like a work of art
From far away
Singing la da da da da,
la da da da da da

You did not get a name
from me or in my mind
It’s easier that way,
less to leave behind
Oh I know that it was wrong
to stay in your arms so long
But your face it put up such a pretty fight

At the redneck karaoke bar
You screamed my name and kissed me hard
I loved you like a work of art
From far away
Singing la da da da da,
la da da da da da

I left you my blue bandana in my jeans
To prove it wasn’t all a fantasy

Behind the redneck karaoke bar
You held me like a superstar
Against the trunk of my old car
I lied in your face
Singing la da da da da,
la da da da da da
