Redneck As Me

(album: American Rebelution - 2017)

It's crazy, let me tell y'all all about it

The first day just didn't seem right, I could tell by stars she just wasn't my type
A city girl but she damn sure fine, I was sipping on Crown, she was drinking red wine
A little later when the buzz kicked in, yeah something just clicked, we was talking like friends
She said she never met a country man who let her drive around a truck on some hunting land
I gotta laugh when I think back then, went and told mama all about your weird accent
You fell in love with a dirt road ride, didn't know it then but she was gonna be my wife
Stole me a kiss parked down by the creek, I could tell that she never ever felt so free
Finally worked up the nerve, got down on a knee and said, "Baby come and stay with me" (Come on)

She used to be an uptown girl, who never been out past that old county line
And now I got her listening to Merle and I think he might changing her mind
Good living, what you been missing, [?] hibiscus, hunting and fishing
Hey city girl, no more, it's plain to see she's just as redneck as me

We grew up in two different zones, I knew of every road I roamed
She blew up and she left her home then we met up and we started our own
Our first date was the county line turkey shoot, she was in love, had know her about a month or two
Then I showed her what a trotline was, yeah I told her 'bout kicking up mud
Twisting on some barbed wire, sitting by the bonfire, she's hot and she knows how to hot wire
The old tractor with the hopper on the back, she played in there twice, said she never looking back
Front porch sitting, no high rise ridge, no champagne sipping, just fish and grits
We hitting back roads for the long way home 'cause now she knows every Conway song, hey

She used to be an uptown girl, who never been out past that old county line
And now I got her listening to Merle and I think he might changing her mind
Good living, what you been missing, [?] hibiscus, hunting and fishing
Hey city girl, no more is plain to see, she's just as redneck as me

Got a twelve pack, a couple cane poles, she don't wanna go home
Wanna kick back and hit a dirt road, she don't wanna go home
Little Johnny Cash and we could ride slow, she don't wanna go home but
Next day pulled up in a jeep and said, "Baby it's your turn to ride with me, yeah"

She used to be an uptown girl, who never been out past that old county line
And now I got her listening to Merle and I think he might changing her mind
Good living, what you been missing, [?] hibiscus, hunting and fishing
Hey city girl, no more is plain to see, she's just as redneck as me

She used to be an uptown girl, who never been out past that old county line
And now I got her listening to Merle and I think he might changing her mind
Good living, what you been missing, [?] hibiscus, hunting and fishing
Hey city girl, no more is plain to see, she's just as redneck as me
