Hillbillies on speed
They're kickin' it out and tearin' it up
There ain't no clownin' round
Somebody's gonna bleed
There'll be moonshine madness and hell-raising in the streets
High altitude badness from the hillbilly cats on speed
Speed in their veins, their hearts and their tires.
Hellcats from hell, and they don't smell too well
They're thieves, they're crooks, they're scoundrels, they're liars
They're takin' names and kickin' butt and comin' to your town
Hillbillies on speed
They're kickin' it out and tearin' it up
There ain't no clownin' round
Somebody's gonna bleed
There'll be moonshine madness and hell-raising in the streets
High altitude badness from the hillbilly cats on speed
Speed!
They're bustin' head, they're shootin' lead
They're grease and they're sleaze
Cussing and a' fussin' and they don't hear no pleas
Cruising for a bruising on their hellcattin' spree
They're pigs, they're scum, they're leaches, they're fleas
They're takin' names and kickin' butt and comin' to your town
Hillbillies on speed
They're kickin' it out and tearin' it up
There ain't no clownin' round
Somebody's gonna bleed
There'll be moonshine madness and hell-raising in the streets
High altitude badness from the hillbilly cats on speed

I was so surprised to hear this in Far Cry 5. I love this song, never thought I'd hear it in a video game, but it's a badass song to blow people up whilst in a car chase to.
