I’m not really a country music fan, but it was playing on my clock radio the other morning. Since country is the only station with a glimmer of reception, I must awake to Tim McGraw and such twangy voices.

The minor changes I would make would be “I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard” for
I was Wonder Woman in my back yard
and you can replace “My first love was Daisy Duke in them cut off jeans” for My first love was Bo Duke and them cowboy boots. Scroll down for lyrics and You Tube link. On a side note, I am sitting here typing this post and I feel a bite on my left hip. Ouch! Reflexively I pull away my shorts and brush it away. Tentatively I look to where I directed the crunchy assailant I sensed on my finger tips. Here is what I found gnawing on my delicate flesh.
- Alive Beetle on Rug
- Smooshed beetle with guts hanging out, on bottom of shoe
- Pouting face cause I had a big bug in my pants
Sing along in your best red-neck accent
