Ben Folds and Nick Hornby Release “Levi Johnston’s Blues”

Bristol Palin (Sarah Palin’s daughter) and Levi Johnston – America’s favorite couple –  recently announced their engagement, so it seems timely that Ben Folds and Nick Hornby release a new track from their upcoming album called – what else – “Levi Johnston’s Blues.”

The track is off Lonely Avenue, the collaboration between pop mainstay Ben Folds and “High Fidelity” writer Nick Hornby that’s out September 28 on Nonesuch Records. Hornby writes the lyrics, Folds writes the music.

Listen to the track below, and make sure you read along with the lyrics as well!

The lyrics to “Levi Johnston’s Blues” are as follows:

LEVI JOHNSTON’S BLUES

Woke up this morning, what do I see?
Three thousand cameras, pointing at me,
Dude says, You Levi?, I’m like, Yes, that’s me sir,
Well, you just knocked up the VP nominee’s daughter

So I tell him, No, you got it wrong, mister,
Already got a girl, and her name’s Bristol
They all laugh and say, where you been, sonny?
Your mother-in-law’s a heartbeat from the presidency

So I say, Mother-in-law? No, we ain’t getting married
They say soon you will, boy, she just announced it
I get on my dirt bike, and ride to my girl’s home
I’m gonna lay down the law, and tell her what’s going on

I’m a fuckin’ redneck, I live to hang out with the boys
Play some hockey, do some fishing, and kill some moose
I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
Ya fuck with me and I’ll kick your ass

So we talk and it turns out we don’t believe in abortion
And sex outside marriage is against our religion
And when I try to tell them I’m eighteen years old
They say Levi, it’s too late, you gotta do as you’re told

I say, Mother-in-law? No, we ain’t getting married
They say soon you will, boy, she just announced it
I get on my dirt bike, and ride to my girl’s home
I’m gonna lay down the law, and tell her what’s going on

I’m a fuckin’ redneck, I live to hang out with the boys
Play some hockey, do some fishing, and kill some moose
I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
Ya fuck with me and I’ll kick your ass

I’m a fuckin’ redneck, I live to hang out with the boys
Play some hockey, do some fishing, and kill some moose
I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
Ya fuck with me and I’ll kick your ass

I’m a fuckin’ redneck, I live to hang out with the boys
Get on my snowboard, do some fishing, and kill some moose
I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
Ya fuck with me and I’ll kick your ass

I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
I’m a fuckin’ redneck, I live to hang out with the boys
Play some hockey, do some fishing, and kill some moose
I like to shoot the shit and do some chillin’, I guess
Ya fuck with me and I’ll kick your ass
