Aaron Lewis Slams Tyler Farr’s “Redneck Crazy” in Alt. Version
Just last week, Saving Country Music showcased some quotes from Staind frontman and country artist Aaron Lewis who had some disparaging things to say about some of the current trends in pop country to the Marion Star newspaper in Ohio.
“I think there’s enough beer on the beach, partying on the tailgate, driving around in a pickup truck, moonshine songs,” Lewis said in part. “I think that everything has been pretty well beaten to death … There’s a song out right now that’s a big single for a big act, and at the very end of the song you can hear a banjo come up in the mix for four measures. And you’re like, ‘Oh, there’s the country aspect of it. Now I get it.’ But that is not country music, I’m sorry.”
On Friday, Jan. 24th, Aaron Lewis was playing a show at the Thirsty Cowboy in Medina, Ohio, and during his set he decided to take the recent #1 song “Redneck Crazy” by Tyler Farr to task. The controversial tune portrays a jilted male stalking his ex-girlfriend, including driving up onto her lawn and throwing beer cans at her, and was accompanyied by a ridiculous video featuring Duck Dynasty stars and Colt Ford. The song solicited a scathing rant from Saving Country Music in October.
“I fucking hate this song,” Aaron Lewis told the Thirsty Cowboy crowd. “I just always thought the message of this song was pretty fucked up. But obviously, a lot of people related to it ’cause it went to #1, go figure.”
Lewis continues, “So last weekend I was at my buddy’s house watching the Patriots game, and my buddy Zach started playing this song and I was like, ‘Ah fuck, don’t play that fucking song.’ And then I started listening to the lyrics and he’d re-written the entire song in kind of an answer to the original song.”
The alternative version called “Redneck Crazy Revisited” was written by a songwriter named Zach Woods. “There’s a lack of character reflected in a lot of what you hear in popular country today,” says Zach. “And no matter which way you spin it, ‘…the kind of man that shows up at your house at 3 AM’ is not the kind of man anyone would want their daughters or sons hanging around with.”

Can we get this on the radio??
Ive always liked Aaron lewis’ voice. Saw him a few years back in Clemson with staind. Gave a great show.
January 26, 2014 @ 1:19 pm
This is amazing on a number of levels. Waiting for your open letter to Aaron Lewis to apologize and commend him sir! ‘ 🙂
January 26, 2014 @ 1:55 pm
My open letter? I’m glad to see him making this kind of stand, but it doesn’t really change my perspective on “Country Boy” or “Endless Summer.” I commended him for showing growth and improvement on his last album, and I commend him here. But I still have a lot of question marks. We’ll see what happens with his next album. That will determine a lot.
January 26, 2014 @ 7:46 pm
It’s just rhetoric man, I very much appreciate what you do!
January 26, 2014 @ 1:23 pm
That’s awesome! It would be nice if someone put some money into a quality video for this. With the way main stream country is right now, things are just primed for a country Weird Al’ Yankovic to emerge.
I never understood why Willie Robertson was in the video (considering he has daughters).
Someone called me a Redneck once and I said I’m proudly half Redneck (Scottish descent but not a Presbyterian).
January 27, 2014 @ 5:50 am
I would say the Duck Dynasty folks are just reality opportunists and taking what they can get before it all fades away. It is a bit hypocritical I think.
January 26, 2014 @ 1:37 pm
“I think there”™s enough beer on the beach, partying on the tailgate, driving around in a pickup truck, moonshine songs,”
I think it’s highly ironic that that statement came from his mouth considering his entire “country boy” song/video is one giant country/redneck cliché.
January 26, 2014 @ 1:51 pm
Hey, you won’t find any bigger critic of Aaron Lewis’s “Country Boy” than me.
https://savingcountrymusic.com/aaron-lewis-of-staind-misses-target-w-country-boy
But we all have to appreciate that was now over 3 years ago. If we don’t allow artists the ability to grow and learn, then how do we expect music to get better? Maybe Arron Lewis is trying to play both sides here, I don’t know. I’m not necessarily recommending him or his music to anyone. I’m simply reporting on what is transpiring. If people still don’t like Lewis either now or because of what he did in the past, that’s understandable.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:15 pm
I get that…and I am not one to normally call someone out. I do agree artists grow and learn from past mistakes…but it’s not like he’s some young kid that is just now coming into his own. I was just pointing out that the irony is thick (not that that is hot off the press).
I don’t like the guy’s music, but if he is finally “getting it”, then more power to him. The “scene” could use more artist that are actually producing quality music. I just have my doubts. Most of his music, past and present, is pretty sophomoric.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:18 pm
I have to listen to people pretend that Brad Paisley is a good artist because of a few songs, while completely ignoring the fact that he’s shitting in the stream with his damn novelty songs, because he “respects” the history of music.
I have to listen to people pretend that Keith Urban is a real artist and not just a pretty boy who sings crap like “Little Bit of Everything” and the same damn love song over and over again – because he is one of many people who can play a guitar.
If those things are true, then people can ignore one terrible song that Aaron Lewis did when he speaks the truth about a song that is basically an abusive partner’s theme music.
January 26, 2014 @ 3:35 pm
Every time I hear Brad Paisley or Keith Urban’s names I mentally follow that with a ‘bless his heart’.
It’s like they try so hard, but they never capitalize on their tremendous talents. They spoil it 100% of the time with bullshit-sounding songs. Oh well. At least they got paid.
January 26, 2014 @ 4:35 pm
They spoil it 100% of the time with bullshit-sounding songs.
Well, that and their high-minded rhetoric ”” Paisley talking about how “progressive” Nashville is, and Urban recycling the same talking points about countrypolitan, Glen Campbell, and the Nashville Sound over and over.
I would surely not proclaim Lewis to be some sort of savior of country music, but I do think he’s making an honest effort to be true to the genre ”” even with his missteps ”” and I respect that a lot. I have yet to check out his album in its entirety, but I do like what I’ve heard from it.
January 26, 2014 @ 8:47 pm
Oh, and somebody NEEDS to record that alternate “Redneck Crazy.” Like, NOW.
February 19, 2014 @ 12:11 pm
Have you ever heard “Think of Me,” or anything Urban released that’s more than 5 years old?
He has a lot of good will for a reason.
July 31, 2014 @ 10:36 pm
I have to listen to people complain about artists that don’t know a damn thing about their music aside from the 23 seconds of a single they heard on the radio before flipping the station, so I assume that’s what makes the world go ’round.
January 26, 2014 @ 1:57 pm
Could have lived without the last part about going down a dusty country road and drinking beer by a lake or whatever it was but other than that this was pretty good. The answer song has a long history in country music and there are many opportunities for that in this messed up environment.
On a side note, I know the reason we have this video is because of a cell phone but God I hate them. It is impossible to go to any live event anymore from a concert, sporting event, or your child’s play without having to bob your head in an effort to avoid all the people holding up their phones to record. Can’t we just enjoy things in the moment anymore? It seemed to work for thousands of years.
January 26, 2014 @ 1:57 pm
This is stupid. Why waste the time…make your own music. Produce real country music. Pay tribute to real country music.
See also Jamey Johnson.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:15 pm
Should we start with “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk?”
I understand what you’re saying Tim, you have a point. But jeez, this was just one song from an entire set. If anyone should know not to judge an artist by one song, it should be a Jamey Johnson fan.
And please, save your Jamey Johnson rant, because I’m just going to delete it. Why you feel the need to constantly shoehorn his name into every topic is beyond me. You don’t like this song? Fair enough.
January 26, 2014 @ 4:33 pm
LOL. Creditability, pride, sense and hypocrisy all gone in one post.
January 26, 2014 @ 4:47 pm
I think I’ll be fine Tim. Thanks for the concern though.
I appreciate your comments and perspective Tim, but going to the Jamey Johnson whip so often has become beyond tiring.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:21 pm
If we’re paying tribute to “real country music,” let’s not act like Answer Songs don’t have a place in the history of the genre.
Here, let me get you a time machine, so you can go back and tell Kitty Wells to not waste her time. Maybe lecture her on Jamey Johnson’s future greatness while you’re at it.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:29 pm
Yes, the best example of an answer song is ‘It Wasn’t God Who Made Honkytonk Angels’ by Kitty Wells. It was actually a bigger hit than The Wild Side Of Life’ which it was in response to. ‘King Of The Road’ and ‘He’ll Have To Go’ also had top ten answer songs.
January 26, 2014 @ 8:47 pm
Zia,
This is far far far from an “answer” song like Kitty Wells did. There are many answer songs, I agree. But this is just karaoke with some goofy lyrics.
Someone below said, “Do this with every fu**ing song on the mainstream that would be great.” And that was my point, this is a waste of time. You could do this with every mainstream song, but does that take any talent? Does that really fight back? Kitty Wells didn’t just go after a weak ass pop country song.
To me, for a legit artist to even acknowledge a song like “Redneck Crazy” is a waste of time. You want to make a stand, or you want to keep country music alive, go make good music. Go produce good music. Go play shows that pay tribute to real country music.
Sorry if I happened to mention one of the only artists doing that today….but, I thought it deserved some acknowledgement and to show someone is doing it.
January 29, 2014 @ 9:12 pm
This is far far far from an “answer” song like Kitty Wells did.
Well, no, no it isn’t far at all. You may not like it, but it’s quite obviously an answer song.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:07 pm
This is awesome! I would go to a show just to here him do this.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:20 pm
The original writers of this song aren’t going to get any……………respect tonight! 😉
January 26, 2014 @ 2:49 pm
I see what you did there, and I liked it. And I love that someone from down here finally had the balls to stand up and say what I know a lot of people probably thought about this song. Solid Aaron.
January 26, 2014 @ 2:50 pm
i dont think tyler farr cares, hes too busy counting his money. At the end of the day now we have 2 versions of this crap song
January 26, 2014 @ 3:06 pm
Do this with every fu**ing song on the mainstream that would be great.
Why isn’t anyone calling out the Sellout Chris Young?
January 27, 2014 @ 1:11 am
Plenty of us have, as a matter of fact, including myself.
I blasted half the album in my mostly unfavorable review of “A.M.” (“Aw Naw”, the title track, “Nothin’ But The Cooler Left”, “Hold You To It”, “Lighters” and “We’re Gonna Find It Tonight” being the offenders in question). The slower tracks weren’t nearly as bad, but almost all of them were forgettable. “Lonely Eyes” was probably the only decent outlier to my ears.
Farce The Music also wrote a (mostly) scathing review of “Aw Naw” and also listed it among their Worst Singles of 2013 list.
January 26, 2014 @ 3:52 pm
I remember when Redneck Crazy came out I thought it was one of the worst songs ever recorded. I also remember Will Hoge posting on his Facebook page when it came out that he would pay good money to any female that could come up with a response to it and call it Redneck Restraining Order. He was just joking around and all but I thought it would have been interesting to hear a comical response from a female lol.
January 26, 2014 @ 4:43 pm
An antidote is a substance which can counteract any form of poisoning.
That would be Kacey Musgraves. She should write a song, it would go to #1.
January 26, 2014 @ 4:45 pm
Of course the room full of country radio-listening morons give a big cheer when he sings the line about dusty back roads.
January 26, 2014 @ 7:52 pm
I saw that as being in jest to the “laundry list” but I could be wrong.
January 28, 2014 @ 3:55 pm
No, I heard them cheer loudly when he mentioned “home-grown”! 😉
January 26, 2014 @ 5:14 pm
This is my bar I go to! In a town on the outskirts of Akron. Surprised when I saw it on the site!

I concede this isn’t going to be for everyone, but if a more snarky, no-holds-barred, aggressive kind of reviewer is up your alley, I do highly recommend you check up entertainer Luke Giordano’s YouTube channel “This Song Sucks”, who reviewed this song late last year.
January 27, 2014 @ 3:00 am
aaron told interviewers that country boy was in fact the first country song he ever wrote and that in a way he wanted it to be very cliche and for endless summer yeah it’s very mainstream and pop influenced and I’m not a fan of it at all butttt he wrote it for his daughters and I’m sure his daughters and for his daughters to enjoy so I’m sure that was the reason for his pop song but the rest of his country stuff is just bad ass to me and I think he is honest and tells it like it is from saying carrie underwood depicted herself to be a complete whore for the song last name to this stupid ass Tyler Farr junk the man is genuine that’s what country needs as well is pure genuine artist
January 27, 2014 @ 6:12 am
I’m seeing him in NY in February and I hope he plays this and then kicks somebody out of the crowd again, that would be awesome.
January 27, 2014 @ 8:24 am
The thing that intrigues me about Aaron Lewis is that he’s clearly interested in and aware of pop country while still being a legitimate outsider that tweaks the genre’s shortcomings. I don’t think most people outside of the pop country inner circle will willingly admit to even being aware of hit songs and chart position. It’s almost too far below them. He really has his own alley. He’s not a part of it, but it seems like he kind of wants to be, but on his own terms. I’m not a fan of his music so far, but it will be interesting to see where his career goes. I do think he has a good voice.
January 27, 2014 @ 8:41 am
Well put. I’m not a fan of his delivery of songs either, but as you say, he’s kind of in the pop country circle but not….am I causing a storm by saying he almost is a poor man’s version of Shooter?
He sees the problems, addresses them from time to time (like with this song), but also goes into the pop country playground and rides the swings from time to time.
Something just seems off though…feels like a country act more than who he really is.
January 27, 2014 @ 10:35 am
Ah, the carpetbagger speaks again.
January 27, 2014 @ 7:18 pm
I think it’s awesome that Lewis is speaking out against crappy mainstream country and I’m really impressed that he would take on a specific song like this.
I think a lot of people thought that song had a creepy, stalker vibe but it was considered acceptable because the behavior was dubbed as “redneck” crazy. Had he not said he was a redneck, country radio probably would’ve found the song inappropriate. The alternate version isn’t that good of a song but it’s awesome that he called Tyler Farr out on that terrible song.
I feel like Aaron Lewis will never be scared to speak his mind and might be able to show some people just how bad things are in country.
Too bad half the crowd at that show seemed to love the original version of “Redneck Crazy.”
January 29, 2014 @ 3:06 pm
Since when is a country song supposed to depict people acting like paragons of virtue? Shooting a man just to watch him die seems a tad bit worse than throwing empty beer cans at someone’s house.
January 29, 2014 @ 3:12 pm
It’s all about consequences. Where was the guy who shot a man in Reno? He was in prison that’s where. The guy in this song is portrayed as a victim of a woman and her new boyfriend.
Huge difference.
January 29, 2014 @ 4:39 pm
Consequences? That doesn’t explain Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart,” as someone else here mentioned. Or Waylon Jennings in “Rambling Man” who leaves a girl in West Virginia and Cincinnatti, and as a consequence, is called a “man of joy.” Oh, what a harsh harsh world.
Or “Highwaymen”, where “any a young maid lost her baubles to my trade, many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade,” and he dies only to be reincarnated a few times, lastly as a starship captain, which is actually pretty damn cool.
How about Willie Nelson’s,” I Just Can’t Let You Say Goodbye,” or Lyle Lovett’s, “L.A. County.” Both about acts that are also a tad bit worse than throwing empty beer cans. No consequences cited whatsoever. Maybe they happen after the song is over, but you can also assume the singer of “Redneck Crazy” will regret it (and indeed, knows about it, as why else would he characterize his behavior as crazy?).
And in a different angle altogether, how about “Murder on Music Row”? Someone (presumably Nashville) kills country music, and what happens? “They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used,” and “there ain’t no justice in it.” The perpetrators get away with it (and continue to do so, as this site continually attests).
January 29, 2014 @ 4:48 pm
Well, a key difference here seems to me to be that Farr has actually defended the song, essentially saying screw the consequences:
“In a weird way, girls like it when a guy”™s that much in love with them. So much that he doesn”™t want anyone else to have her.”
January 29, 2014 @ 5:21 pm
Yes, he defended on the same grounds I did, “But this song is what people want to do. It’s sad, but country music’s never been about sunshine and rainbows and flowers, and everything’s just fine.” As I’ve shown, there are plenty of songs with stories where people behave badly, and they aren’t always punished for it.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:37 pm
But this song is what people want to do.
But I don’t see that as a valid defense of that song. And I’m sure I am not the only one. People WANT to do a lot of stupid stuff in the heat of the moment that would get them rightfully shot, but the well-adjusted among us suppress those urges and move on. People who defend this song on the grounds Farr did essentially defend stalking. There’s just not any way around that.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:51 pm
“People WANT to do a lot of stupid stuff in the heat of the moment that would get them rightfully shot”
And there are a great many country songs about stupid stuff, like murder (see below).
“but the well-adjusted among us suppress those urges and move on.”
Part of how some of us suppress these urges are through music and movies and other forms of entertainment that let us vicariously experience these things without doing them ourselves.
January 29, 2014 @ 9:08 pm
Which is fine, but that doesn’t change the fact that Tyler Farr seems to be implying that girls like to be stalked by their exes.
January 29, 2014 @ 9:27 pm
Wow, that’s a stretch. Nowhere in the song lyrics does it indicate how the woman reacts, and the video is pretty clear about her disgust.
I guess you must think Lyle Lovett was implying that couples like to be stalked and murdered.
January 30, 2014 @ 12:23 pm
Ahem. I was referring to Farr’s comments about the song. Don’t be obtuse.
July 20, 2024 @ 11:09 am
But Farr isn’t wrong. Some women like it when a man they find attractive keeps pushing for them or shows jealousy. There are loads of women asking on the internet why a man went away after they said no.
Hell, Kelly Stafford admitted that is how she got Matt.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:07 pm
Well you only mentioned ‘Folsom Prison’ in your original post not all these other songs so that was what I was referring to. I’m not saying that every song has to be virtuous but I would draw the line at creepy stalker guy portraying himself as a victim and passing itself off as redneck crazy. Anyone who has dealt with this kind of thing can attest that a guy pulling into your driveway and throwing stuff at your house in the middle of the night is not something to be proud of as this clown (Farr) seems to think.
As for ‘Murder On Music Row’ that would be what is called a metaphor.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:22 pm
You draw the line at stalking… but not at murder like the Lovett and Nelson song I cited?
January 29, 2014 @ 5:25 pm
“…And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side”
Murdering two people in the heat of passion, and the consequences are that the lights look pretty.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:37 pm
I don’t know what to tell you I’m not going to analyze every song ever written.
January 29, 2014 @ 5:46 pm
“L.A. County” is from Pontiac, an album that this site has listed as the 29th best country album of all time, and also one of my favorites.
Miranda’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” is a much closer parallel, and it’s great because it’s about a gal who’s a train wreck, and it’s interesting because you can see yourself doing those things. Pretty much the same deal with “Redneck Crazy.” I think both songs are hilarious, but I guess not everybody gets the joke.
Bad behavior often leads to something known as drama, which makes for interesting stories regardless of whether the writer decides to get all moralizing about it (indeed, the story is usually better if they don’t).
January 29, 2014 @ 6:31 pm
Everything in ‘Mama’s Broken Heart’ is about the singer dealing with the breakup herself and nothing about doing anything to the person she broke up with.
And if thinking it’s creepy to sing a song glamorizing stalking your ex is moralizing than I guess I’m guilty. You can create art about dark subjects and events without endorsing the behavior and country music has many of them that treat the subject matter that way.
January 29, 2014 @ 7:46 pm
“You can create art about dark subjects and events without endorsing the behavior and country music has many of them that treat the subject matter that way.”
Yes, I think the best songs make no moral judgment about the behavior either way and leave it up to the audience. Indeed, “Redneck Crazy” isn’t in the same league as Lovett’s because it doesn’t have that same ambiguity. Like “Mama’ Broken Heart,” “Crazy” is obviously a caricature intending to mock the narrator’s immature behavior (the title should have given that away).
January 30, 2014 @ 10:42 am
Case in point, let’s go back to Johnny Cash and consider,”A Boy Named Sue.” There are more parallels here than you’d expect. What does the narrator of this song do? He vows to track down his father and kill him in revenge for the name he hates, gets into a violent altercation with the intent of carrying this out, but then ends up being talked out of it.
This narrator, much like the one in “Crazy”, could have moved on and dealt with his problem in healthier ways (e.g., by going by a nickname), but instead goes the route of a premeditated attempted murder. The writer does not moralize this bad behavior (and by writer, I am referring to the song-writer and not the listener), and the only consequences are that he’s reunited with his father and a (somewhat) newfound appreciation of his name. If you were to condemn this song as glamorizing attempted murder, you’d be missing the point.
Country music is not written for four-year-olds like an Aesop’s fable. It is not meant to be depicting perfect role models or morality tales. As I see it, country music shows life as it really is, with real people making real mistakes, facing real problems, and sometimes dealing with those problems in misguided but very realistic and relatable ways. Violence (e.g. “Boy Named Sue” and “L.A. County”), alcohol abuse (e.g. George Jones’s “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will)”) and marital infidelity (David Allan Coe’s “Now I Law Me Down to Cheat” and Jones’s “We Didn’t See a Thing”), and unseemly behavior (Miranda Lambert’s “Mama’s Broken Heart” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) are very common themes. And this bad behavior is usually not depicted with a judgmental or moralizing attitude.
Indeed, interpreting “Folsom Prison Blues” as some kind of lecture against violence is also missing the point (“just to watch him die” gets the loudest cheer from his audience). Cash clearly isn’t trying to preach about the legal consequences of violence to a bunch of people already in prison. Instead, this is a moment where his audience connects with him at a deep level because they see he’s one of them (and even I, as a married father, can relate to the dark impulses he depicts).
And as I see it, that’s the value of showing bad behavior in country music. Not to moralize, but to tell dramatic stories the listener can relate to. Maybe you’ve never had your heart broken and could never picture yourself going to the lengths that the narrator in “Crazy” did. If so, the song simply doesn’t speak to you because you’re not the intended audience. But I sure can relate, and it speaks to me. The popularity of the song is not because we think, “Yes, stalking is awesome!” Our reaction is more along the lines of, “That’s just seriously messed up!” and laughing at it while also realizing, there, but for the grace of God, go I.
That being said, it’s still not a great song, but I think its flaws are more in regards to its music.
January 30, 2014 @ 1:23 pm
He said, “It”™s sad, but country music”™s never been about sunshine and rainbows and flowers, and everything”™s just fine.” In other words, as I’ve been arguing at length with numerous examples below, country music is full of depictions of bad behavior. Lyle Lovett’s “L.A. County” is not about what he thinks people ought to do, but a story about people’s real urges. About what people want to do.
If Farr actually thought it was a positive action that the woman would like, I kinda doubt he would have considered it sad. Maybe triumphant or happy, but not sad. Indeed, I think it’s so pathetically sad that it’s funny, which is why I enjoy the song. To take it as an exhortation that people ought to stalk is very similar to interpreting “A Boy Named Sue” as urging people to perform premeditated attempted murder. Such an interpretation would be, shall we say, obtuse?

January 30, 2014 @ 1:52 pm
I just googled Tyler Farr and read that he was up for an ACM for best new artist. If he wins that award Aaron should pull a Kanye, steal the mic, perform this song with just his guitar and then just lay the mic at Tyler’s feet and exit stage left. It would be the best thing to happen to the ACMs and country music since 1988. Probably a waaay better performance than the band perry gave last year.

this is an idiotic thing to protest…many songs cover this subject….most popular is the POLICE every breath you take…..the song is about the feelings he is going thru..and break ups, divorce are an unnatural act that takes a long time to get over….the only violence he does is throw beer cans at their shadows in front of their house …he doesnt throw a brick thru the window…..everyone acts psychotic after a breakup…especially when its not mutual …women should really think about the mans feelings sometimes …maybe its not appropriate to move on the next day after dumping a guy…or you deal with the emotions that come with the behavior we always hang all the responsibility on men…when a woman calls the guy who does this a million times or stalks a guy its not as serious …why because they are less capable of violence? no because they are scared…and other men want to get with that so they often agree with her….but its supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law…and after a one sided break up the singer is addressing the feelings of this …he should be commended at writing it in a song instead of doing it….maybe thats why the song is #1 we have ALL been there ….but is violence wrong? depends on who starts it..i guess…but adultery is a sin for a reason we were made to marry for life by God…and when we dont do it…this is what happens….i guess AAron handles it totally mature and never gets upset when he gets dumped by someone he LOVES WITH HIS WHOLE HEART….or maybe hes never been in love….ITS illegal because people often take it overboard and feel like life is not worth living anymore anyways so they take it to death …which used to be romantic now …with women wanting to have their cake and eat it too..they want to dump a guy move on and have no problems…

So wait. It’s okay for a woman to sing about beating the crap out of a man’s truck (Ms. Underwood)…but nobody bats an eye. So this Redneck Crazy song talks about throwing emoty cans at a window and playin’ some Hank with the headlights on. Yep. I’m shaking.

Thanks for jabbing a little fun at this ridiculous song – I hate it with a passion, and for good reason! Tyler Farr plowed into me in that precious Silverado of his just after the song was released. I was at a dead stop and he never even braked. My car was totaled and my neck is a mess. Some good ole’ boy – he still hasn’t paid the medical bills! Are these the kind of values that country music fans really want to support?! It baffles my mind!
