Lyrics

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
