Travis Meadows - "Good Country People"

W/Levi Lowery

Well, his name was Toy but we called him Dadlie
Dadlie’s second wife was Daisy
Daisy was a Mormon Southern Baptist lady
We all thought the pagan lady was crazy

They chewed on Redman sitting in the living room
Spitoons made of coffee cans
Daisy had a crush on her cousin but her cousin had a crush on another man

It is what it is and we are who we are
We keep our secrets in our own backyard
We disregard what we don’t regard, it ain’t all that hard
We’re just good country people

Betty Rose, her man had a wooden leg
Only man the poor thing ever had,
He’d threaten to leave and she’d hide his prothestic
he’d hop all pathetic and mad
He used to fly planes to down to Miami
She told all the plane just crashed
They never found the plane, they never found the body
But the leg’s hanging high in the barn in the back

It is what it is and we are who we are
We keep our secrets in our own backyard
We disregard what we don’t regard, it ain’t all that hard
We’re just good country people, that’s right

(Instrumental break)

No God got it right when he made us all
The wires got crossed in a few
One man’s strange is another man’s normal
Whatever normal means to you
We wear our pride like April Christmas lights
On our crooked family trees
We’re all pieces of art, so bless your heart
If that ain’t what you see

It is what it is and we are who we are
Yeah, we all got secrets in our own backyard
And We disregard what we don’t regard
We’re just good country people
We’re just good country people

Hey

We got prize winning fried chicken in our rundown shack
Uncle Daddy’s cooking meth in the tub out back
Rachel drinks liquor from a coffee cup
So the neighbor’s don’t know if she drink’s too much
Gretchen’s got a candle burning from her lip
Nobody knows whose baby is riding on her hip
