Leroy the Redneck Reindeer

Well Fresno State lost. Drinking did not help them win. But the band did great! They were definitely better than the SUC band and our uniforms are prettier than SUC's.A few of us on facebook decided that maybe Fresno State would do better in one of the bowl games that has food associated with it and forget a vacation spot  like Las Vegas or Hawaii. I looked at where we won before and I thought maybe there needs to be a food bowl in San Jose because apparently we won bowl games there two years in a row. So bowl game people listen up :)

Today's installment on the 24 Days of Christmas is Leroy the Redneck Reindeer by Joe Diffie. I was going to do Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, but I happened to stumble across this and thought it was better. Plus how many of you have heard Leroy the Redneck Reindeer? All I know about the background is that the song was written by Joe Diffie, Steve Pippin, and and Stacy Slate.

Well you've all heard the story about Rudolph and his nose
But I'll tell you a Christmas tale that never has been told
Well you may think you've heard it all, but you ain't heard nothin' yet
About that crazy Christmas, that the North Pole can't forget

Rudolph was under the weather, he had to call in sick
So he got on the horn to his cousin Leroy who lived out in the sticks
He said, "Santa's really counting on me and I hate to pass the buck"
Leroy said, "Hey I'm on my way and he jumped in his pick-up truck"

When Leroy got to the north pole, all the reindeer snickered and laughed
But they never seen a deer in overalls and a John Deer tractor hat
Well but Santa stepped in and said, "Just calm down
'Cuz we've all got a job to do and like it or not Leroy's in charge
And he's gonna be leading you"

And it was Leroy The Redneck Reindeer hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two steppin' across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell and made history that night

Before that night was over, Leroy had changed their tune
He had them scootin' a holf on every single roof
By the light of a neon moon
Santa wrapped his bad with the Dixie flag
He was having the time of his life
And you could here him call Merry Christmas y'all
And all of y'all a goodnight

And it was Leroy The Redneck Reindeer hooked to the front of the sleigh
Delivering toys to all the good ol' boys and girls along the way
He's just a down home party animal, two steppin' across the sky
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell and made history that night
He makes jingle bells with the rebel yell and made history that night
