Redneck Rockstar
Drew Jacobs Lyrics

Aw, yeah
Excited introduction to the song.

What's up, honey?
Addressing someone in a light-hearted way.

I see you lookin' at me
Noticing someone's attention.

Nah, man, I think she's lookin' at me
Playful response to the above line.

Well let's find out
Suggesting they talk to the person and find out who they're interested in.

Friday, I'm feelin' rich
Describing feeling good on payday.

Saturday night, I'm spendin' it
Enjoying spending money after getting paid.

Sunday, sun up, still at the bar
Continuing to have a good time on the weekend despite the time.

Like a redneck rockstar (Rockstar)
Comparing oneself to a rockstar in attitude and behavior.

Monday, I'm broke again
Describing the financial reality after a weekend of fun.

Tuesday, Wednesday, I'm beggin' friends
Turning to friends for help when short on cash during the week.

On Thursday payday's so damn far
Anticipation for the impending paycheck.

Redneck rockstar, cashin' my check on a Friday
Repeating the comparison of being like a rockstar but with rural, working-class roots.

Ballin' out the same night, go ahead tap the keg
Having a good time and drinking with friends on payday.

I'll get drunk off the ladies who stay twerkin' up in the denim
Enjoying the company of women dancing in suggestive clothing.

I waste money on gasoline at the 7-Eleven
Spending money on gas at a convenience store due to lack of other options.

A couple cans of tobacco and a case of the good-good
Purchasing tobacco and marijuana for personal use.

I'll be in the cut Silverado, rockin' the Cowl hood
Driving a Chevy Silverado with a custom hood.

All I do is bust my ass from sun up to sun down
Working hard to make money during the week.

To put the green in my pocket, pay bills and smoke loud
Using the money earned to cover basic expenses and indulge in smoking marijuana.

It's that backwoods, gotta get it by any means kind of livin'
Describing the rural, blue-collar lifestyle of having to work hard to make ends meet.

I've junked metal, painted houses, done some crooked shit even
Listing past jobs and possibly illegal activities to make money.

But I ain't even gonna lie, I spend dollars on good times
Acknowledging that despite working hard, it's important to enjoy life and have fun.

So grab the jar of moonshine and put some gas on the fire, ha
Suggesting they continue to party and indulge in moonshine while enjoying the outdoor fire pit.

I stay cruisin' the backroads of my own hometown
Enjoying driving around in the rural areas of their hometown.

Tailgatin' in tall grass, sippin' on that brown
Drinking alcohol while having a tailgate party in a field.

Deep in the co-co-country, yeah, that's where I'm found
Describing themselves as fully immersed in rural life.

Where your iPhone don't get service in a small ass town
Noting the limits of technology and connectivity in rural areas.

In the holler it goes down, southern belles gettin' wild
Describing the local party scene where women behave in a wild and carefree manner.

Dirty dancin' in a diesel to a deep southern sound
Describing dancing in a car to specific music genre and location.

Saturday night I'm knee slappin' to Alan Jackson
Enjoying listening to country music.

With Coca Cola and a splash of Jack in the action, let's make it happen
Enjoying a specific drink while partying and allowing the good times to continue.

About dead on Sunday, but still make it to church
Acknowledging the consequences of the weekend but continuing to attend church.

Rollin' into work hungover, and my damn back hurts
Describing feeling physically unwell after a weekend of partying.

But I gotta sweat for the paper to burn a hole in my jeans
Working hard to earn money to cover expenses and also to enjoy oneself.

Uh, start it, ha-ha-ha-ha
Excited encouragement to start the song.

Don't be ashamed to get wild on the weekends, son
Encouraging listeners to enjoy themselves on the weekends without shame or regret.

In this crazy world we live in
Acknowledging the difficulties and stresses of daily life.

We gotta learn how to let loose somehow
Encouraging people to find ways to have fun despite hardships.

Tell 'em what it is, Drew
Encouraging the artist to continue speaking his message.

Ain't got my rent paid, nothin' saved, truck's up on blocks
Describing a situation where bills aren't paid and there's no savings, with a broken truck as one problem.

Not a dime to my name, good looks are all that I've got
Jokingly noting a lack of money but emphasizing having self-confidence.

But when Friday rolls around, I'm buyin' shots round the clock
Despite financial hardships, enjoying having money to buy drinks on the weekends.

Upchurch, redneck rockstar, repeat it all next week, ha
Signifying the end of the song with a repetition of the chorus and the artist's name.
