Redneck Life
[Verse 1]
I grew up in a batten board cabin at the dead end of a gravel street
I got my first paying job when I turned ten Cause money didn't grow on trees
Cheap cigarettes with the windows up was part of the air I breathed
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
[Verse 2]
Yeah me and my daddy built my first car
Strung the motor up in a tree
We wore the beer box helmets with the eyes cut out rat racing them junkyard dreams
Yeah me and my crew man we grew up on Hank Jr. eighty three
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
[Chorus]
Yeah
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
What you see is what you get and what you get is what you see
I'd take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon any old day of the week
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
Aw get on it son
[Verse 3]
Now I grew up swimming in cutoff jeans
Down at the bridge at the castor creek
We bent our half bills as far as we could bend them
We spent the fall sitting high in a tree
Yeah hunting and fishing wasn't just a trend it was what we did to eat
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
[Chorus]
Yeah
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
What you see is what you get and what you get is what you see
I'd take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon any old day of the week
I didn't choose the redneck life the redneck life chose me
Woah
