Curt Collins and I are in Nashville this week and we asked Sarah Kirkland to sing a quick Guitar / Vocal Work-Tape for us. Sarah is a young artist in Nashville who we enjoy co-writing with and we thought this song might be a good match for her Artistry.

Please let us know what you think. We always appreciate your Comments, Suggestions and Critiques of our work.

Sincere Thanks,


David, Curt Daniel and Sarah



Red Neck Tested




Verse:
I drive a �63 Chevy my Grandpa gave me it gets me where I wanna go
The tail gate's a missin� it�s a little hard shiftin� there�s no knobs on the radio
It�s gotta a four-on-the-floor and some rust on the doors and the seats are worn down to the springs
The rods are knockin� it has trouble stoppin� but it�s earned every dent and ding
This old trucks got the right attitude it�s been red neck tested country girl approved

Chorus:
I know it ain�t perfect it�s a one of a kind
A little rough around the edges but still in its prime
It�s passed all my test's and never failed
It�s an Eight-Point �O� on the Red Neck Scale
Yeah, it�s American made tried and true
It�s been red neck tested country girl approved

Verse:
There�s a place I go where the beer's ice cold and the music�s always hot
The pool tables leanin� the glasses need cleanin� but it�s the best this small town�s got
When you walk through door your feet stick to the floor from all the drinks that spilled this week
But no one cares �cause this is a where red white and blue collar meet
This Honky Tonk�s got the right attitude it�s been red neck tested country girl approved

Chorus:
I know it ain�t perfect but it�s a one of a kind
A little rough around the edges but still in its prime
It�s passed all my test's and never failed
It�s a Nine Point �O� on the Red Neck Scale
It�s American made tried and true
It�s been red neck tested country girl approved

Verse:
He�s six foot two from hat to boot and has a back road pedigree
When the radio�s on he knows every song but sings �em a little off key
He don�t mind a little dirt he ain�t afraid of hard work he don�t back down from a fight
He�s a shade tree mechanic and a closet romantic that knows how to treat me right
That country boy�s got the right attitude he's been red neck tested country girl approved

Chorus:
I know he ain�t perfect he�s a one of a kind
A little rough around the edges but still in his prime
He�s passed all my tests and he never failed
He's a Ten-Point �O� on the red neck scale
He�s American made tried and true
He�s been red neck tested country girl approved
He's been red neck tested country girl approved
Country girl approved
