>>>Thank goodness Elvis wasn't country.
You're joking of course. And one thing Elvis never was was ashamed of his family.>>>
You gotta give him credit for that. He loved his family and dared anyone to harm them, by joking or otherwise. Coming from a very hick and redneck family, I can appreciate that. They might not all be educated or even classy by any degree, but they sure do love me and mine. And they would poke your eye out, or yank your heart out if you messed with us. hehe

SOUTHERN BOYS
(Kate & Anna McGarrigle)
Southern boys are warm and lovely
They speak gently of their homes and show you pictures of the folks
Their breath in your ear is as soft as the cotton
Whether they're wooing or whispering the latest racist joke
I get knocked right off my feet
When I hear that Southern drawl
And I don't mind the pain
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
Buttered grits is fare for breakfast
And if you like and your aim is good, maybe a squirrel
Then around nine, we pop that moonshine
And it's on out to the porch for a moonlight swing with me your Northern girl
I get knocked right off my feet
When I hear that Southern drawl
And I don't mind the pain
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
Were you born? Where do you come from?
Is your tropic in Cancer and is your sun sign divine?
Ah let it out, please don't hide it
All that good ol' stuff down below that Mason-Dixon Line
I get knocked right off my feet
When I hear that Southern drawl
And I don't mind the pain
'Cause the feeling's worth the fall
And don't extend your hand
'Cause I couldn't move at all

Loved this comment...tears are involved;)
Integrity, decency, self-respect and concern for others are not attached to college degrees.........but to the soul of a man.
