    What’s a Hillbilly Love Song? 


    Picture a guy and gal singing in a smoke-filled Texas honky-tonk dive — clearly in love with one another ...


    Now imagine a country rock pop song written in 12/8 time giving it a boogie shuffle feel, accompanied by an old, rickety honky-tonk ragtime piano — all setting the stage for a silly, but heart-felt, love song.


    In spite of my glaring defects and your flagrant flaws, we still love each other anyway!


    Love, after all, is much more than a feeling. It’s a choice.


    So — even though my “nose looks like a fishhook” and even though “you sing just like m’ dawg ... I don’t care, what’cha might be, ’cause you’re still a honey to me!” 




    Background of My Hillbilly Love Song


    It all began as a teen, while playing around and improvising musical ideas on the old upright piano we had at home in Dayton, Iowa. I wrote the initial lyrics, verses, chorus & ragtime ending at that time, eventually using some of the song for a college music composition assignment.


    Later, while living in Minnesota, I took music writing classes from my church worship pastor, and after a helpful critique of a simple demo I created for this song, I went home to my Samick grand piano and composed the bridge & completed the lyrics. I finally recorded this piece in my Orlando, Florida home studio in Spring 2022.


    I then had the song mixed and mastered by the pros in Nashville, Tennessee mid-Summer 2022.


    Release date on all the major global streaming providers is Friday, September 16th!

    Lyrics © Roger Paul Peterson 1973, 2012

    Don’tcha know your face looks like a snare drum?

    Don’tcha know your hair looks like a nest?

    But I don’t care, what’cha might be, ’cause you’re still a honey to me


    Don’tcha know your legs look like a flagpole?

    Don’tcha know your chest is at half mast?

    But I don’t care, what’cha might be, ’cause you’re still a honey to me


    Don’tcha know your nose looks like a fishhook? 

    Don’tcha know your ears taste like the bait?

    But I don’t care, what’cha might be, ’cause you’re still a honey to me


    Don’tcha know your feet smell like a plu - u - u - un-ger?

    Don’tcha know your knees knock like your c - c - c - c - c - c car?

    Don’tcha know your hands feel like a prickly cactus?

    Don’tcha know your bridgework just fell ——— out?


    Don’tcha know you kiss me like an oyster?

    Don’tcha know you sing just like m’ dawg?

    But I don’t care, what’cha might be, 

    cause you’re still a honey to —

    lovin’ all my money, too —

    you’re still a honey to —


    (ragtime piano ending)
