[ country ]
Yeah, some folks like to party it up with a holiday buffet
Others cheer with plenty’a beer an’ a football pizza gourmet
An' some folks get together whenever just for a couple of kicks
But here in the sticks we dig conflicts, we talk politics
Yeah, we talk about our right to life an’ about your right to die
If you don’t dig down home discussion best pass us clear on by
We sit out on the front porch in the evenin’ ‘round ‘bout six
No, we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics
We talk about stubborn elephants an’ about them liberal mules
An’ about why God is disappointed in our public schools
Don’t need egghead advice from walls of ivory-covered tower bricks
Up there they may blow smoke but we talk politics
We guard our right to chew an’ spit, practice our right to drink
You can bet unfiltered butts we think any way we choose to think
We don’t tow no party line, no, we like to throw independent in
the mix
Yeah, we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics
Now the tv likes to color us solid as either red or blue
An' as long as ratings stay up guess they don’t care
If Americans know what’s really true
We keep an eye on the economy and we don’t like oil slicks
An’ we figure it’s both sides’ fault that we’re in such a hell’uva fix
So don’t come 'round knockin’ on our door unless you can take
your licks
‘Cause we don’t just blow smoke, we talk politics
No, we ain’t completely transfixed by a few l’tle computer mouse
clicks
An’ we don’t intermix with dipsticks, we talk politics
Politics, politics, we talk politics
