Reverend Horton Heat - Rural Point Of View lyrics

Yeah, I've got a rural point of view But I think I know the urban one, too You don't need a gun If you can just call 9-1-1 And a cop is at your door in just a few They wanna take away my pickup truck But a small electric car just gets stuck It won't haul a load of hay More than a half mile away Through the weeds and through the mud and through the muck Yeah, I've got a rural point of view And I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do I just think you'd find That you just might change your mind If you thought about the rural point of view In the Great Depression things were bad Anything to eat and you were glad Baloney on your plate And you were happy that you ate 'Cause baloney was the only choice you had Urban folks now love organic meals And getting them is really no big deal I hope they don't forget And I hope that they'd admit That they're lucky they can eat the way they feel Yeah, I've got a rural point of view And I'm not tryin' to tell 'em what to do I just think they'd find That they just might change their mind If they thought about the rural point of view An Ivy-League professor loves his wheat He says, "Pickup trucks will soon be obsolete" That pompous little fool Can ride his bike to school 'Cause a farmer with a truck is how he eats Yeah, I've got a rural point of view And I don't think he's really thought it through I just think he'd find That he just might change his mind If he thought about the rural point of view Yeah, I've got a rural point of view And I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do I just think you'd find That you just might change your mind If you thought about the rural point of view If you thought about the rural point of view If you thought about my rural point of view
