(Randy ThomasBob Carlisle)



Daddy worked the land every day of his life

Grandpa did too 'till the day that he died

Mama had a job at the Dairy Queen

She's the hardest workin' woman I ever seen



Grandpa taught me 'bout the Golden Rule

Daddy said he'd skin me if I dropped out of school

They taught me how to swim in a Tennessee pond

And how to throw a steer and keep my Stetson on

Well they taught me how to dance and how to have fun

I'm a redneck son of a redneck son



I was winkin' at the ladies on the day I was born

I was kissin' and huggin' at the age of four

Got my first taste of heaven on the Macadoo farm

Kissin' Marylow Macadoo behind the barn



Grandpa taught me 'bout the Golden Rule

Daddy said he'd skin me if I dropped out of school

They taught me how to swim in a Tennessee pond

And how to throw a steer and keep my Stetson on

Well they taught me how to dance and how to have fun

I'm a redneck son of a redneck son



I never started any trouble but I never backed down

Got a clean reputation in this dirty old town

I'm keepin' my nose where it ought to be

I never missed church so it never missed me
