Compliment

(album: Spray Painted Line - 2022)

I take it as a compliment when they get to jawing
Calling me a redneck man
I ain't happy if the day's not spent in a holler
Fire water bottle in my hand
I'll leave it in the dust if it can't get muddy
I'd kiss that girl if she jam a little country
And if they laugh at me like I ain't talking sense
Hell, I just take it as a compliment

My boots might stay a little dirty
Got a 30-30 that my daddy's daddy sent me in the snail mail
Had Grizz stuck in my teeth, since I had to sneak it
Try to keep it from my momma so she ain't yell
I learned on a stick, I ain't scared of ticks
And for me and mine, I'd fight the devil himself
So, if you think it's cool to make fun of a blue-collar
I won't be upset

I just take it as a compliment when they get to jawing
Calling me a redneck man
I ain't happy if the day's not spent in a holler
Fire water bottle in my hand
I'll leave it in the dust if it can't get muddy
I'd kiss that girl if she jam a little country
And if they laugh at me like I ain't talking sense
Hell, I just take it as a compliment

Raised on a double-wide deck
Couple labs in the back
Always driving too fast down a non-paved
I's hick from the jump
It's a back forty fact
I'll pick a George Strait track over Coltrane
Yes, sir, and no, ma'am, and don't give a damn
Sounds like it's a perfect fit
So don't feel bad, I won't get mad
If I hear you talk a little shhh

I just take it as a compliment when they get to jawing
Calling me a redneck man
I ain't happy if the day's not spent in a holler
Fire water bottle in my hand
I'll leave it in the dust if it can't get muddy
I'd kiss that girl if she jam a little country
And if they laugh at me like I ain't talking sense
Hell, I just take it as a compliment

I ain't gonna change, I'm set in my ways
Go on, call me a never-was has-been
But if you really hate it, go on and say it
'Cause I get the last hillbilly laugh in
Taking that compliment
Taking that compliment
Let's go
