Redneck
I heard you mutter redneck
When you saw me today
I’m here to tell you that you’re right
And rednecks what I’ll stay
I came by this real honest
Up on my tractors back
Looking down a row all day
Not in some moonshine shack
How do you think you’re gonna feel
When family farms are gone {Chorus
‘Cause folks like you made kids ashamed
To call their place a home
This land we love was founded by
Real people just like me
Without their strength and values
Where do you think we’d be
You may believe you’re better
For no dirt on your hands
But this dirt and these calluses
Have made me what I am
How do you think you’re gonna feel {Chorus
When family farms are gone {Instr.Brk
‘Cause folks like you made kids ashamed
To call their place a home
I’m in the sun most every day
Out on my daddy’s place
And it will be my sons someday
If we stay in God’s grace
Now hard work doesn’t hurt you
But leaves you with a brand
And the red that’s on my neck
Reminds me who I am
How do you think you’re gonna feel {Chorus
When family farms are gone
‘Cause folks like you made kids ashamed
To call their place a home
It doesn’t mean I’m filled with hate
For others not the same
It only means I’m proud of
The roots from which I came
So if you and all your friends
Put redneck by my name
Remember now this one thing
I’ll wear it with no shame
Remember now this one thing
I’ll wear it with no shame
