Title: Live like a Hillbilly
lyrics and music by: Jeff Knight, BMI

ver 1:
Down yonder in jawja, them hills just call my name
Callin any other place home, wouldn't be the same
Don't mind my backwood ways, I don't mean to be rude
No matter where I go, I'm just a bona-fide redneck dude
(I like)
Chorus:
Drinkin white lightning
and home made wine
Rollin in the hay
havin a real good time
Don't mean to be partial
and I know it sounds kinda silly
But you just ain't country
til you live like a hillbilly
ver 2:
You might hail from the big apple and poke a lil fun
of the way I say ya'll and all my southern puns
But when you cross the border of that Mason Dixon Line
you'll take on a new attitude just a little less refined
(you'll like)
repeat chorus
bridge:
Kick off your shoes and stay awhile
you just might fall in love
with our sweet southern pride
repeat chorus
Tag:
But you just ain't country
til you live like a hillbilly
YeeeHaawww! a REAL hill ... billy ....
