I had to hide my union card to get a job in my own town.
Well, I'm proud to be an American.
I feel blessed to be from the South.
But, my neighbors say I talk funny.
Now what's that all about?
They won't let me burn my trash anymore.

Some people say that it just ain't right the way I discipline my own child.
But they're first to say that he's polite while their kids go running wild.
