Redneck Life

I grew up in a batten board cabin
 At the dead end of a gravel street
 I got my first payin' job when I turned ten
 'Cause money didn't grow on trees
 Cheap cigarettes with the windows up
 Was just part of the air I breathed
 I didn't choose the redneck life
 The redneck life chose me
 I love that, boys
 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. 83
 I didn't choose the redneck life
 No, the redneck life chose me
 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 ol' day of the week
 I didn't choose the redneck life
 The redneck life chose me
 Oh get on it son
 ♪
 Now I grew up swimming in cut-off 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 sittin' high in a tree
 Yeah, huntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend
 It was what we did to eat
 I didn't choose the redneck life
 The redneck life chose me
 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 ol' day of the week
 I didn't choose the redneck life
 The redneck life chose me
 Woah!
