Boy

Boy

Take your boots off outside. Don't wash your workin’ clothes with momma’s dresses. 

Pull your pants up, you look like an idiot. Turn your hat right, your head aint crooked.

But daddy that’s what the guys on TV look like and they get all kinds of money for it.

Take your hat off at the table and when walking into church before you shake the preacher’s hand. 

If the trash is full, take it out. Don’t drink right from the milk jug. Elbows off the table and sit up straight, this isn’t a feeding trough. Ask to be excused after you’re done eating and take your dishes to the kitchen.

Help your momma dry the dishes. Keep the wood box loaded and split more when the shed runs low. 

Kiss your momma on the cheek and say good night before you go to bed. Love your god, your momma, and your country in that order. This is how you pray. This is how you show respect to the red, white, and blue. This is how you saddle up your horse. This is how you herd the cattle and this is how you know the crops are ready. This is how you run a tractor. This is how you load hay bales in the truck.

This is how you dress for workin’, this is how you dress for church and goin’ out.

Wave at everyone, it’s just the nice thing to do. This is how you tip your hat to a lady.

When you find an interest in a girl, look her in the eyes and ask her by name if she would like to go out.

Be best friends; protect her even though she might be a stubborn ass that says she can fight her own.

She can, but she likes to know you got her back. Over use ‘I love you’ and always tell the truth.

This is how you take your hat off before you kiss the lady you love and when you find the one you love, you ask her parents for their blessing. If you get mad at your lady, don’t yell at her.

Go outside, cool off, go  back and say you’re sorry asking how you can make it up to her.

All the guys on TV yell at their ladies and some of ‘em hit ‘em. Don’t you dare lay a hand on a lady or I’ll lay a hand on you.
