Red red red red red red red red redneck
Well, the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles
Run ol' Bocephus through a jukebox needle
At the honky-tonk, where their boots stomp
All night, what
(That’s right)
Yeah, and what they call work, diggin’ in the dirt
Gotta get it in the ground 'fore the rain come down
To get paid, to get the girl
And your 4-wheel drive
A country boy can survive
Yeah, the boys 'round here
Drinkin’ that ice cold beer
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kickin’ up dust
The boys 'round here
Sendin’ up a prayer to the man upstairs
Backwoods legit, don't take no shit
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit
Aw heck
Red red red red red red red red redneck
Well, the boys 'round here, they're keepin’ it country
Ain't a damn one know how to do the dougie
You don't do the dougie?
No, not in Kentucky
But these girls 'round here yep, they still love me
Yeah, the girls 'round here, they all deserve a whistle
Shakin' that sugar, sweet as Dixie crystal
They like that y'all and southern drawl
And just can't help it cause they just keep fallin'
For the boys 'round here
Drinkin’ that ice cold beer
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kickin’ up dust
The boys 'round here
Sendin’ up a prayer to the man upstairs
Backwoods legit, don't take no shit
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit
Let me hear you say
Ooh, let's ride
Ooh, let's ride
Down to the river side
Hey now, girl, hop inside
Me and you gonna take a little ride to the river
Let's ride, that's right
Lay a blanket on the ground
Kissin’ and the crickets is the only sound
We out of town
Have you ever got down with a
Red red red red red red red red redneck
And do you wanna get down with a
Red red red red red red red red redneck
Girl, you gotta get down
With the boys 'round here
Drinkin’ that ice cold beer
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kickin’ up dust
The boys 'round here
Sendin’ up a prayer to the man upstairs
Backwoods legit, don't take no shit
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit
Ooh, let's ride
Red red red red red red red red redneck
Ooh, let's ride
I'm one of them boys 'round here
Ooh, let's ride
Red red red red red red red red redneck
Ooh, let's ride
Ooh, let's ride
Well, all I'm thinkin' 'bout is you and me, how we'll be
So come on, girl, hop inside
Me and you, we're gonna take a little ride
Lay a blanket on the ground
Kissin’ and the crickets is the only sound
We out of town
Girl, you gotta get down with a…
Come on through the country side
Down to the river side
