lyrics

Redneck Monkey
words and music by F. Benjamin
===========================================

Listen up now 'cause I got somethin' to say.
I can't tell you enough how much I wanna get away.
From the noise and confusion and hustle of every day.
Gonna go back to the mountains that's where I'm gonna stay.
If you want to baby you can come with me.
Yeah back to the basics of sweet simplicity.

*** Well I'm a Redneck Monkey - and Hillbilly Junkie.
Say what you will but I just gotta be free.
I like stump jumpin', and I can do some thumpin'
on your head now buddy if ya don't like the looks of me. ***

I love the smell of the forest after it rains.
In the hills of the Adirondacks or up in Maine.
Where the only sound of civilization is the sound
of a distant train. And everything that's done is never
done in vain.

Repeat ***

For 20 some odd years I've been away.
And I'm longing for the life I had back in the day.
City livin' just chewed me up and spit me out.
It gets me so frustrated I just wanna shout.
Listen up now yeah I got somethin to say.
Gonna lay it down right here right now today.

****
Redneck Monkey.
