RED-NECK HIPPIE ROMANCE (LIVE) As recorded by Bobby Bare (1978 recording from the 2020 Album GREAT AMERICAN SATURDAY NIGHT) [Intro] N.C. Who was it said North is North and South is South N.C. And never the twain shall meet? N.C. Well, this song answers the question N.C. Can a simple, God-fearin′, beer-drinkin' country boy N.C. Find happiness as a husband of a freaky, no good, psychedelic, neurotic, drug-usin′, hippie talkin'
                      C
New York City bitch?
[Verse 1]
C                        G                       C
They say a redneck and a hippie should never get married

                    G              C
But we just laughed and done it anyway

      F                               C                        A7
For a while life was fine 'cause your life′s so different from mine

    D7                                  G
But now it seems we both just ain′t got very much to say
[Verse 2]
       C            G                   C
'Cause I realize you′ll never love Hank Williams

                     G              C
And I don't like The Rolling Stones a bit

    F                                         C        A7
And all my friends have short hair and smoke "Lucky′s"

    D7                                        G    C
And all your friends have long hair and smoke shit
[Chorus]
   F                            C
So go and roll yourself another reefer

    F                           C
And I'll go pour myself another beer

    F                                C                A7
And please don′t ask me why we can't give it one more try

       D7
'Cause I′m too drunk to tell you, babe

    G
And you′re too stoned to hear
[Verse 3]
  C                    G                C
I like to dress up and look just like a rich man

                     G                 C
And you like wearin' jeans and lookin′ poor

    F                              C                    A7
And I like dancin' slow, where the Schlitz and memories flow

D7                              G
And I like to drink my Coke and you like sniffin′ yours
[Verse 4]
      C               G                C
But I keep pretending everything's Jim Dandy

                        G             C
And you keep pretending everything′s far out

        F                      C                 A7
So just pack up your grass and shake your hippie ass

      D7                                   G     C
Right back up north while I stay here down south
[Chorus]
      F                            C
Woah, go and roll yourself another reefer

    F                           C
And I'll go pour myself another beer

F                                C                A7
Please don′t ask me why we can't give it one more try

       D7
'Cause I′m too drunk to tell you, girl

    G                    C
And you′re too stoned to hear

      F                                 C
Woah, roll yourself another one of them reefers

         F                               C
And I'll pour myself another one of them beers

    F                                C                A7
And please don′t ask me why we can't give it one more try

       D7
′Cause I'm too drunk to tell you, baby

    G                    C7
And you're too stoned to hear
