He was born in West Virginia,

His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz

And he's not responsible for what he's doing

'Cause his mother made him what he is.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
D G
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
G C
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
D G
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker
(Chorus)
Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.
(Chorus)
