A new kind of crazy

So, we're driving down Whyte Ave on our way to the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market (ya, we're totally Chuckin it up) and this suddenly jumps out of the radio:
I'm gonna aim my headlights into your bedroom windows
Throw empty beer cans at both your shadows
I didn't come here tonight to start a fight, but I'm up for anything tonight
You know you broke the wrong heart baby, and drove me redneck crazy
Redneck crazy.

It's kind of like Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats, oozing rage and crazy vengeance ("I took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires" - come on, these lyrics are gold), but like the guy, redneck response version.

Google tells me this hidden gem is Tyler Farr's song titled (surprise, surprise) Redneck Crazy. You think by the melody that it's a sweet, country song about a dude getting his precious heart broken. And then you actually listen to the words and laugh. Click on the link. It's so worth it.
