Might Be a Redneck
Drew Jacobs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you hit the town when the sun goes down
Pick up the girls drive 'em all around
If you get a little muddy with all of your buddies
Fill that tank when you ain't got the money
And you say cheers to a good year and chug a beer

If you got Skoal rings in your old jeans
Get down dirty just to make ends meet
If you drink moonshine in the moonlight
Rollin' coal on the downtown street
If you got a flatbed, bleed red, chill where the creek bends, country till the day you're dead
Well you might be a redneck

If you hit the plow before the sun beats down
Dig up the dirt, get 'em in the ground
If you raise a little hell with a sweet southern belle
Who runs the night with a rebel yell
And you ride on to an old school Hank song

If you got Skoal rings in your old jeans
Get down dirty just to make ends meet
If you drink moonshine in the moonlight
Rollin' coal on the downtown street
If you got a flatbed, bleed red, chill where the creek bends, country till the day you're dead
Well you might be a redneck

Well, you might be a...
Old soul washed in the blood
Raised on the banks of the Mississippi mud
Got a drawl when ya talk
Got some spit in your chaw
Wouldn't have it any other way
Old soul washed in the blood
Raised on the banks of the Mississippi mud
Got a drawl when ya talk
Got some spit in your chaw
Wouldn't have it any other way

If you got Skoal rings in your old jeans
Get down dirty just to make ends meet
If you drink moonshine in the moonlight
Rollin' coal on the downtown street
If you got Skoal rings in your old jeans
Get down dirty just to make ends meet
If you drink moonshine in the moonlight
Rollin' coal on the downtown street
If you got a flatbed, bleed red, chill where the creek bends, country till the day you're dead




Well you might be a redneck
Yeah, you might be a redneck
