Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I grew up in a batten board cabin at the dead end of a gravel street
I got my first payin' job when I turned ten
'Cause money didn't grow on trees
Cheap cigarettes with the windows up was part of the air I breathed
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
[Verse 2]
Yeah, me and my daddy built my first car
Strung the motor up in a tree
We wore the beer box helmets with the eyes cut out
Rat racin'  them junkyard dreams
Yeah, me and my crew, man, we grew up on Hank Jr. '83
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
[Verse 3]
Yeah
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
What you see is what you get and what you get is what you see
I'd take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon any old day of the week
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
[Verse 4]
Aw, get on it, son
[Verse 5]
Now, I grew up swimmin' in cutoff jeans
Down at the bridge at the castor creek
We bent our half bills as far as we could bend them
We spent the fall sittin' high in a tree
Yeah, huntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend, it was what we did to eat
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
[Verse 6]
Yeah
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
What you see is what you get and what you get is what you see
I'd take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon any old day of the week
I didn't choose the redneck life, the redneck life chose me
[Verse 7]
