"Possum Stomp" (c) 2024 Kevin DeFeo
from the album "Southern Heart, Yankee Mouth"

There's a guy we know that understands
He supports all the local country bands
And sings karaoke to Brooks and Dunn

Ain't much offends him, that's true
Unless you disrespect the red, white and blue
If you do that son, he's gonna kick your bum

You can catch him most weekend nights
Havin' some shots and drinkin' cold Coors light
Enjoying some friends and that country twang

A few drinks in, life stress is gone
The band starts playing a favorite song
The beat's just right, it's time to do his thang

The toes start tappin', that foot starts rockin'
It picks up speed and there's no stopping
He raises a boot, it hangs up in the air

The boot slams the floor and it makes that sound, sawdust flyin' all around
Keepin time with the band's down beat, gets the whole crowd cheerin' and up on their feet
He keeps on going like he just don't care, pounding that floor with his beer in the air
People keep yelling and they hope that the band don't stop
Doin' that redneck dance the Possum Stomp

At this roadhouse bar, he's just one of the guys
Where folks come to relax and unwind
And shake of the hours burned to make a buck

There's farmers, drivers and a doctor too
Some collars white, most collars blue
The lot's full of Harley's and pickup trucks

The Tele twang and cryin' steel guitar
Gets everyone swaying around the bar
But so many people are keeping him in sight

When the band finally hits one of them songs
Gets the whole bar jumpin' and singing' along
That's when Possum's gonna do the thing that's Wright

The toes start tappin, that foot starts rockin'
It picks up speed and there's no stopping
He raises a boot, it hangs in the air

The boot slams the floor and it makes that sound, sawdust flyin' all around
Keepin time with the band's down beat, gets the whole crowd cheerin' and up on their feet
Keeps on going like he just don't care, pounding that floor with his beer in the air
The people keep yelling and hope the band don't stop
Doin' that redneck dance the Possum Stomp

The boot slams the floor and it makes that sound, sawdust flyin' all around
Keepin time with the band's down beat, gets the whole crowd cheerin' and up on their feet
Keeps on going like he just don't care, pounding that floor with his beer in the air
The people keep yelling and hope the band don't stop
Yeah they all love The Possum, they know that he does it a lot
Doin' that redneck dance the Possum Stomp

Do the Possum Stop
Do the Possum Stomp
Do the Possum Stomp!
