FUN FACTS!
-We wrote the song, shot and edited the video in less than three days.
-The house used in the video is the actual house that the guy that played girl's father lives in, though it has no electricity or running water.
-We were going to write "Just Hitched" on the back of the Corvette, but ran out of shoe polish so we just ended up with "Just ?"
-It was so cold shooting the car scene and the wind was blowing so hard (holding $6000+ worth of camera equipment out of the back of a truck mind you) that tears were literally streaming out of my eyes because they were watering so bad.
-This video was inspired by Taylor Swift - "Love Story"

Lyrics:
Our love was forbidden,
Her dad was coming to hunt me down with shotgun.
I didn't have a job, but I applied at the local quick stop to sell them churros.
Greasy hair, grizzly beard, stains on my T-shirt thats who I was back then.
She was a beauty queen, saw Nascar since she was little.
Then one day we met outside by my pickup, I put the tailgate down and we talked
for a little while.
And I realized that she could be my...
Trailer park princess, your 3 kids don't bother me.
We'll sit out by my shed and smoke us a cigarette.
And I'll take you for a ride on my trusty John Deere,
It's a redneck fairytale. Sugar, fetch me beer.
So we were acquaintances for another 3 years,
But I got tired of waiting so I invited her out to my barn.
I dropped down on one knee and grabbed her by the arm and said,
"Sugar, I can't afford a ring or anything else for that matter."
But I really care about you and I would take a bullet for you.
I had a short conversation with your father,
He told me he would not shoot me.
Blessing, won't you run away with me? Far away.
We'll escape to the bayou, have 3 more kids and smoke some cigarillos,
Drink some moonshine, shoot some buckeye,
Gone fishing, catch us a large guppy,
It's a redneck fairytale. Sugar, just say yes.
