I'm Just A Redneck At Heart

(album: Keyed Up - 1983)

Lets cook!

Well, I was sitting at the table with the big boss from New York
When I looked down and noticed that they'd given me two forks
I thought, what a waste, I only use one hand at a time
Then the waiter came and poured a Cabernet '69.
I had my heart set on a Lonestar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.

A pretty lady said lets dance, well, how could I refuse
I said alright, but if you don't mind the next time I'll ask you
Well, there I was with the orchestra playing "In the Mood"
I had two left feet, I said I must admit it's not what I'm used to.
I'd rather two-step to a pedal steel guitar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.

Monday morning back at work and it's the same old grind, Lord, Lord
A stack of papers on my desk and L.A. on the line
I sneak off on a coffee break and read my Field and Stream
I drink my Lipton's Cup O' Soup while floating down a dream.
You won't find it written on my business card
But I'm just a redneck at heart.

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.

I'm just a redneck at heart
Yes, I am!...
