The Lacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a buddy named Red Diamond
Drank a quart of that Bud Light and he
Waltzed down to the deep side and he
Jumps off with a crooked little smile
Then around about the time that the cops came
He was drunker than a virgin on her first date
And I know that he ain t gonna cooperate
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
He works hard for a week s pay
2 jobs nearly every single day
And it ain t often that you see him in town
But about twice a month he ll be making his rounds
Hits the corner store and buys 12 pints
A case of Red Man and some homemade shine
The 4 wheel drive headed back to the woods
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
Barefooted as a yard dog he don t even wear shoes
Rebel of his time got a confederate flag tattoo
Smell like cigarettes and you can catch a hint of booze
Has a whole lot of nothing, he ain t got a lot to lose
He like to drink a little beer, he like to sip a little shine
Cruisin dirt roads at night so he can ease his mind
See he lost in the moment just enjoying his time
He s a country boy, simple man, livin his life
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
Red Diamond man, he s livin life like a modern day outlaw
Red Diamond man
Yeah, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh
