Redneck Romeo

Lexington's a city

But it ain't so big it freaks me out

And if I need a breather I can hit the parkway

Be home before the bars all close

And drink away the lies she told

And think about the days

She was a few rides shy of a rodeo queen

High school lovin' in a badass Jeep

Far from the eyes of a watchful town

Her mama didn't need to know

Good corn liquor to shake this cold

And good hot lovin' on a gravel road

Juliet

Won't you crawl outside your window

And dance in the arms of your redneck Romeo?

When push came down to shove

I'd be a bandit for her love

Shoot sharp and walk away

She was good before she changed her name

And I bet that ain't all that's changed

Goddamn, I remember the nights

I was a young punk kid from a dried up town

Coal-car country full of huntin' hounds

She was the one who kept those boys at bay

Her high heels and my red wing boots

Cuttin' couches in the living room

Juliet

Won't you crawl outside your window

And dance in the arms of your redneck Romeo?

I can't win for all this losin'

I can't see for all this boozin'

By God, I can keep it together

Just to hold my baby close

Get her movin' down a county road

Make up for lost time

She was a few rides shy of a rodeo queen

She ran on sex and gasoline

Far more money than a boy like me could hold

She went off to paint the town

And I'm stuck holdin' these mountains down

Juliet

Won't you crawl outside your window

And dance in the arms of your redneck Romeo?

Won't you crawl outside your window

And dance in the arms of your redneck Romeo?
