"Northern Redneck"
[Intro]
D  C  G   D  C  G     D
[Verse] 
We grow toDbacco and we drive trucks
We kill whitGetails and green head ducks
And drive our foAur wheelers down the main road
And buCst out the sleds when it's cGold
We got bDack roads an' four-wheel-drives
We got taiGlgates on a Friday night
And it's a hAalf hour from my front door
To a WalCmart or a grocery stGoreA  
What you aCll don't understGandA  
It ain't aCll about a southern mGan
[Verse]
'Cause we got outDlaws, we got hicks
We got honkGytonks out in these sticks
We love our whiAskey and we love our homegrown
God daCmn it's so good to be hGome
We wear CarDhart, we don't wear suits
We wear squGare toes and Chippewa boots
And we aAll know where we come from
And weC'll be right here when it's dGoneA  
What y'Call don't understaGnd
It ain't aCll about the southern mGan
[Chorus]
'Cause we got faDmily livin' out in these woods
We got prGide and a sense of what's good
And we aAll got dirt on our hands
It's a soCng for the workin' mGan
Get up eaDrly and we work third shift
Pay our taGxes and protect our kids
And we aAll got dirt on our hands
'Cause there's rednCecks north of the Mason-DiGxonD  
There's redCnecks north of the Mason-DiGxonD  C  G  D  
[Verse]
'Cause I'm from the NoDrth son, you're from the South
Straight out the traGiler, fresh off the plow
You got your ChAevy parked next to my Ford
And the colCors flyin' high at your doGor
I got a shoDtgun, fill it with shells
You got a BGible but I'll see you in hell
We aiAn't that different son, you and me
Tryin' to maCke it in the land of the fGreeA  
What y'Call don't understaGnd
It ain't aCll about a southern mGan
[Chorus]
'Cause we got faDmily livin' out in these woods
We got prGide and a sense of what's good
And we aAll got dirt on our hands
It's a soCng for the workin' mGan
Get up eaDrly and we work third shift
Pay our taGxes and protect our kids
And we aAll got dirt on our hands
'Cause there's rednCecks north of the Mason-DixGonD  
I'm a redCneck north of the Mason-DiGxonD  C  G  D

AARON LEWIS

"Northern Redneck"

[Intro]

D C G D C G D

[Verse]

We grow tobacco and we drive trucks

We kill whitetails and green head ducks

And drive our four wheelers down the main road

C G

And bust out the sleds when it's cold

We got back roads an' four-wheel-drives

We got tailgates on a Friday night

And it's a half hour from my front door

C G A

To a Walmart or a grocery store

C G A

What you all don't understand

C G

It ain't all about a southern man

[Verse]

'Cause we got outlaws, we got hicks

We got honkytonks out in these sticks

We love our whiskey and we love our homegrown

C G

God damn it's so good to be home

We wear Carhart, we don't wear suits

We wear square toes and Chippewa boots

And we all know where we come from

C G A

And we'll be right here when it's done

C G

What y'all don't understand

C G

It ain't all about the southern man

[Chorus]

'Cause we got family livin' out in these woods

We got pride and a sense of what's good

And we all got dirt on our hands

C G

It's a song for the workin' man

Get up early and we work third shift

Pay our taxes and protect our kids

And we all got dirt on our hands

C G D

'Cause there's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

C G D C G D

There's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

[Verse]

'Cause I'm from the North son, you're from the South

Straight out the trailer, fresh off the plow

You got your Chevy parked next to my Ford

C G

And the colors flyin' high at your door

I got a shotgun, fill it with shells

You got a Bible but I'll see you in hell

We ain't that different son, you and me

C G A

Tryin' to make it in the land of the free

C G

What y'all don't understand

C G

It ain't all about a southern man

[Chorus]

'Cause we got family livin' out in these woods

We got pride and a sense of what's good

And we all got dirt on our hands

C G

It's a song for the workin' man

Get up early and we work third shift

Pay our taxes and protect our kids

And we all got dirt on our hands

C G D

'Cause there's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

C G D C G D

I'm a redneck north of the Mason-Dixon
