I'm from a little country town where the sky is blue
Friday nights around here ain't a whole lot to do
So I went and called up sweet Becky Lou
Said how'd you like to go for a drive?

I took her in my truck to the railroad tracks
Lit a cozy fire for a little romance
I sang her a song and she reached for my hand
When daddy busted out of the woods
And he said

Stop it right there! Hands in the air!
We think there's something you kids ought to know
You scared your mamma half to death, we've been searching the sticks
Trying to find you and dang that was close
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
But she's the daughter of an uncle related to you
You might not wanna go swimming in the same gene pool
Don't be touching 
That's your cousin

I turned around to look at Becky and she looked at me
We broke the law of attraction almost instantly
Her pretty brown hair went to ugly and green
And she gave me my coat back

So we packed it in but the night was young
She said, "If you don't mind I'd still like to have fun
There's a show called deliverance on rerun
Down at the cinema"

Stop it right there! Hands in the air!
We think there's something you kids ought to know
You scared your mamma half to death, we've been searching the sticks
Trying to find you and dang that was close
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
But she's the daughter of an uncle related to you
You might not wanna go swimming in the same gene pool
Don't be touching 
That's your cousin, yeah

Stop it right there! Hands in the air!
We think there's something you kids ought to know
You scared your mamma half to death, we've been searching the sticks
Trying to find you and dang that was close
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
But she's the daughter of an uncle related to you
We need a little separation in our gene pool
Don't be touching 
That's your cousin

Well, I ran into Becky just the other day
At the new online internet cafe
She was looking for a man from the Ukraine
On eHarmony
