| 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 10
|
| 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
|
| Yeah me and my daddy built my first car
|
| It’s called the motor up in a tree
|
| We were the beer bartenders with the ice cutout
|
| Rat racing them junkyard dreams
|
| Yeah, me and my crew, man, we grew up
|
| On high-tune U83
|
| I didn’t choose the redneck life
|
| No, the redneck life chose me
|
| 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’ll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
|
| Any ole day of the week
|
| I didn’t choose the redneck life
|
| The redneck life chose me
|
| And I grew up swimming in cut-off jeans
|
| Down at the bridge at the castor creek
|
| We’d bend 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’ll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
|
| Any ole day of the week
|
| I didn’t choose the redneck life
|
| The redneck life chose me |
