I Don't Want To Be A Hick No More
First off, this song is just a joke so no offense to anyone who may be inclined to be offended, like hicks. I actually made this up when I was 15 or 16, over 25 years ago. Kind of a parody on the Beverly Hillbillies.
Just getting back into this after a long hiatus.
I purchased a used Korg d16 - 16 track recorder around the Fall of 2009 for $ 100.00 and I haven't touched a recorder in nearly 25 years. That was in the 1980's with a Tascam Porta 01-4 track. Things have come a long ways.
The guitars and music equipment came out of a long hibernation soon after.
Story behind the song
First off, this song is just a joke so no offense to anyone who may be inclined to be offended, such as hicks. I actually made this up when I was 15 or 16, over 25 years ago. Kind of a parody on the Beverly Hillbillies. I never bothered to record it so now seems like the time. Lots of different stuff in it. Jaw harp, beer bottles, slide whistle, banjo, bongo, several acoustics, steel guitar, a shaker my 7 year old made, some pots and pans.
Thanks Max for the piano.
Lyrics
My fifteen sisters and my fourteen brothers
share the same bed we fight for the covers
I live in a shack I don't want to go back
I don't want to be a hick no more,
Billy-Joe-Bob and Peggy Sue
Drove me to drinking with their pigfeet stew
I got a buckshot in a family fued
I dont want to be a hick no more
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more.
Its hard to get around when the next darn town
Is at least a hundred miles or more.
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more
I got a sofa on my lawn and my teeth are all gone
I dont want to be a hick no more.
Everyday I go shooting at my food
Up from the ground aint no bubbling crude
I aint getting rich anytime soon
I dont want to be a hick no more.
I know a feller, his name is Old Yeller
His cousin up and married his mother
HIs sister married his mother's brother
I dont want to be a hick no more
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more
I got a boss whose name is Hoss
He weighs 300 pounds or more
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more
My kinfolk live like pigs in a poke
I dont want to be a hick no more.
Thought Id have some fun with a night on the town
Kicked up me heels at the last h*** down
But I fell down and broke my crown
I dont want to be a hick no more.
Im going blind from drinking moonshine
I smell like hell but I dont mind
You cant smell good being drunk all the time
I dont want to be a hick no more
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more
Cant walk to town I dont know whos around
When folks are settling scores.
I dont want to be a hick no more no more
I dont want to be a hick no more
I pray to Mathew, Mark, and Luke when I see a Daisy Duke
I dont want to be a hick no more.
