Original song: HONEST REDNECK SWEAT
12/6/2013 | HTRN

Posted on 12/06/2013 6:58:01 PM PST by HiTech RedNeck

==================== HONEST REDNECK SWEAT ====================

[Verse 1] It's been another hard workin' day With my neck burned from the sun Out in these fields of the north forty And I know I must work before having fun; I plowed, I planted, and I pulled weeds Looking to the harvest that will come, And now I'm home to my dear family And embrace my wife and daughter and son!

[Chorus] Oh Lord, when it's time for my reward Look at this honest redneck sweat; I may not have been the world's big shot But I tried not to forget That my body and soul were in your hands And I listened hard to your command And I put your love in all I did Even when the world said I'd flipped my lid! And when my sweat fell off my brow I knew for certain that somehow It was going into your eternal book And it showed your love in how it looked And I am not ashamed at all to get All covered with honest redneck sweat!

[Verse 2] And now it's morning on the farm And the cows need to be milked; I saw the paper when I got up And once again someone has bilked Our taxes that came from our toil And spent it all on gambling and filth While we honest rednecks keep pushing on In our jeans to feed those souls in silk!

[Chorus]

[Optional interlude]

[Verse 3] Oh, the sweat it goes all through my clothes And really soaks my cuffs and collar At the odor some folks turn up their nose But my family never complains or hollers -- They know it's the smell of good hard work And an honest man is what it follows And though scarcely broken by those who shirk They never refuse my hard-earned dollars!

[Chorus]

You are so sophisticated you never witness, for fear that some idjit will then accuse you of being “enamored of your posts”?

I think you are the one who is full of yourself. And bragging about how you are most special to the Christ you claim you have allegiance to.

Show it through your fruit if you are. Anyone can get some physical fish. Who has gospel bait?

Just stop. If this is making you angry I am out. MY sincere intention is otherwise.

OK, I give you honorable mention for those.

In response: You can follow my history just fine if you want to be honest. I do not put up a lot of vanities. I engage people with the gospel and I do it with pretty good grammar and spelling (it is only idiots who think redneck means uneducated).

I only become angry at empty puffery presuming to hold me to judgment for not being like it.

Hey dude if you can ADD something good, do it.

Why would you want me to quit speaking the gospel, I do not know. You presume you can judge why I am doing it, that it is what you accuse to be self admiration. Maybe if YOU did it, it would be self admiration. Me, I admire what Jesus has done for me and will do for anybody else who asks.

Hey dude. We probably agree on more than we let on.

We all have different talents and will express ourselves differently. I was born clever. But I gave the cleverness to the devil. Now Jesus has snatched it back for Himself and I use it to the maximum.

You aren’t one to yack a lot about it. That’s great, maybe it’s in how you live and yes we would do great to meet if it were possible. I’m far away in Nashville though. Never even been in Idaho.

Look, my prayers are for you to have a wonderful Christmas “every day of the year” or however you choose to celebrate as long as it’s according to the Father’s will. And God bless you.

Hi Tech

I know enough about farming to be dangerous. But I am a musician of 40 years’ experience. And I have your back in prayer too. Fish to the Lord’s glory and please pray that I will write to the Lord’s glory. Like the bible says we aren’t all noses, or all eyes, or all feet, or all hands.

I’ve gotten criticism for being “TOO” poetic in other places.

Can’t win this silly game!

Hey if the Holy Spirit speaks in it, to me it’s poem enough. Even if it is only moon, spoon, and June.

OK, you go to bat then. What do you call good country poetry. We all can learn, even silly me. (I did use to write poems when a kid, and the school thought they were great, dozens of them. Rhyme schemes aren't always easy to see when the lines are all run together like they were here. So sue me, I didn't bother to put all the <br> marks in there.)

Yeah, I agree, the actual country experience is beyond words. Words try to embrace it. And what really sells is some nice looking and nice sounding dude (or dudette) performing it. The writer himself... ah, he gets peanuts. But that’s Nashville.
