12 Reasons Why I Converted To A Part Time Redneck

I was not raised as a redneck. I was brought up on rock-n-roll, not country music. Luckily, my enjoyment of southern rock did make the transition to part time redneck a little smoother. It was my husband's family that introduced me to the redneck ways. After many years with my in-laws, they brought me around to joining in the redneck fun. Here are some reasons why I converted to a part time redneck:

1. They sure know how to have a helluva good time!
2. Country music is real and also a lot of fun.
3. After initial resistance on my part, Nascar claimed me as a fan. Whoo Hoo #48 Jimmie Johnson!
4. They really know how to have a good time!
5. Drinking beer all day long CAN be good for you
6. There is, in fact, a time and a place for cussing. It is just a more descriptive way of speaking.
7. Bluegrass music is very enjoyable. Why did it take me so long to realize it?
8. They really know how to have a great time!
9. It is okay to have a beer at noon. Thanks to AJ, we all know it is five o'clock somewhere.
10. What you see is what you get. You usually don't have to try and figure a redneck out.
11. They don't spend a bunch of needless time worrying about what other people think.
    
12. Did I mention that they know how to have a good time?

(Note: I don't say Hee Haw. Don't know why. Just can't bring myself to do it.)

I am going on vacation and will be spending the next week and a half with my in-laws. That brings me around to my song for today. During my vacation, if I indulge in a lot of music and beer, I will just be carrying on that old family tradition! Listen to Hank Williams Jr. sing this classic country tune and sing it along with me.
