This is a parody country song with a fat-bottomed girl in a Conway Twitty T-shirt. Instruments BIAB. _UPNOVER.STY https://soundcloud.com/user-76836945-522642460/square-dance?si=bf8a8c3622564e588f7f9a0b7c61e438&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing It was another hot Saturday night the yellow moon was shining just right for our weekly square dance and slug fest I was dancing with a pretty girl And got too frisky during her twirl not mindful of her lurking boyfriend He planned to make her his wife and cut me with a switchblade knife I'm not sure I’ll be seeing her again Bandage on my arm I returned to dance with a roll of quarters in my pants At least that’s what I said when asked Promenaded left as the caller said Dancing with a partner who was too well-fed Saw my buddies laughing at my plight Allamande left then right and left grand That was the point when I dropped her hand And begged off claiming recent loss of blood I returned so I could do-si-do A fat-bottomed girl said she was good to go She was wearing a Conway Twitty t-shirt I squared up and did a quick sashay Found an excuse so I could get away But I was blocked by her big legged girlfriend The caller yelled out “Now box the gnat” I told the girls I need to grab my hat And made a dash for the nearest doorway Sitting in the parking lot with a luke-warm beer Wondering what the hell I’m doing here Realizing small towns are all much the same Found the bullies ride, a brand new Jeep I relieved myself on the driver’s seat Without his knife he wouldn’t have much to say His girlfriend came out for a smoke We went around back and I gave her a poke I really hope she enjoys her wedding day Nothing to do so do what you can And hope to make it to become a man Flirting with danger is no easy way to go Life can be hard and is often slow And to get along you gotta go with the flow Swimming against the tide only gets you beat down Buck the status quo to pass the time Hang out with friends who have the same mind Southern man can keep his head after all.

This song is a hoot... a great story.
The song structure/arrangement could use some work, and your vocal timing is a mess, but you get the point across... I love it.

Fun story for sure. Good band, and excellent vocal, Blong. A lot of good lyrics, and the last line of each verse says it all.

for our weekly square dance and slug fest... Well, that set expectations right.  Fun listen! Worthless trivia from Wikipedia (since you allude to it in your last line): In his book Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream, Young stated that Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote "Sweet Home Alabama" not in response to "Southern Man", but rather to Young's song "Alabama". Young noted that Lynyrd Skynyrd's implied criticism was deserved because Young's lyrics to Alabama were condescending and accusatory.

Some of the lyrics are factual. As an adolescent in a small South Georgia town I did go to square dances because that is where the girls were. A friend did cut me with a (pocket) knife because I was dancing with a girl he liked. Actually, he and I were in a band together and remained friends (Bro's before adolescent girls who did you a favor by dancing with you.) Interesting tidbit about Neil Young. Nice catch.
