A song about growing up in my hometown of Magna, Utah, and staying connected to your roots.

The name is self-explanatory.
I came up with this artist name on a whim when Suno insisted that I create one. I use this alter ego of sorts to differentiate my AI-generated music from my other recording hobbies. I used Chat GPT to make the lyrics and then ran them through Suno to turn them into music. Some of my songs required manually combining parts of different generative attempts in order to get the finished song.

Story behind the song
I made this song on a whim using Chat GPT based on the idea that "you can take the redneck of Magna, but you can't take Magna out of the redneck." After running the lyrics through Suno, it came out catchier than expected. I wrote a third verse myself and re-did the second half to get the finished song. I got a lot of plays and positive feedback from people in Magna, which I was really thankful for. It's now the title track to a complete album available on bandcamp and pretty much wherever music is sold online.
Lyrics
Grandpa spent his years in the copper mines Hands stained red, working overtime Dust storms rise off the tailings pond That old town grit still holds on You can take the redneck out of Magna But you can't take Magna out of me I still taste that mineral water Still see that big C Main Street shines in the movies But real life's slow as mud No matter where I lay my head Magna's running through my blood Cyprus Pirates on a Friday night Blue and gold, under those lights Pastrami burgers at the Grub Box stand Nothing fancy, but it sure tastes grand They dress it up, make it Hollywood But nothing ever changes like they think it should You can take the redneck out of Magna But you can't take Magna out of me I still taste that mineral water Still see that big C Main Street shines in the movies But real life's slow as mud No matter where I lay my head Magna's running through my blood Got my boots n' jeans at the local Ream's And some donuts at Roger's Bakery Used to catch a movie up at the Reel While my friends took calls at ol' Packard Bell They dress it up, make it Hollywood But nothing ever changes like they think it should You can take the redneck out of Magna But you can't take Magna out of me I still taste that mineral water Still see that big C Main Street shines in the movies But real life's slow as mud No matter where I lay my head Magna's running through my blood
