Standard Tuning - No Capo
[Verse]
AI grew up in a batten board cabin
At the dead end of a gravel Estreet
EI got my first payin' job when I turned 10
Cause money didn't grow on Atrees
ACheap cigarettes with the windows up
Was just part of the air I Dbreathed
DI didn't choose the Aredneck life
The Eredneck life chose Ame
[Verse]
Yeah Ame and my daddy built my first car
Strung a motor up in a Etree
We wore the Ebeer box helmets with the eyes cut out
Rat racing them junkyard Ajeeps
Yeah, Ame and my crew, man, we grew up
On Hank Jr. 'D83
DI didn't choose the Aredneck life
No, the Eredneck life chose Ame
[Chorus]
AI didn't choose the redneck life
The redneck life chose Eme
EWhat you see is what you get
And what you get is what you Asee
I'll take a AMountain Dew over a silver spoon
DAny ole day of the week
DI didn't choose the Aredneck life
The Eredneck life chose Ame
[Instrumental Break]
D A E A
D A E A
[Verse]
AAnd I grew up swimming in cut-off jeans
Down at the bridge at the castor Ecreek
EWe'd bend our hat bills as far as we could bend them
We spent the fall sittin' high in a Atree
Yeah, Ahuntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend
It was what we did to Deat
DI didn't choose the Aredneck life
The Eredneck life chose Ame
[Chorus]
AYeah I didn't choose the redneck life
The redneck life chose Eme
EWhat you see is what you get
And what you get is what you Asee
I'll take a AMountain Dew over a silver spoon
DAny ole day of the week
DI didn't choose the Aredneck life
The Eredneck life chose Ame...

Standard Tuning - No Capo

[Verse]

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 10

Cause money didn't grow on trees

Cheap cigarettes with the windows up

Was just part of the air I breathed

D A

I didn't choose the redneck life

E A

The redneck life chose me

[Verse]

Yeah me and my daddy built my first car

Strung a motor up in a tree

We wore the beer box helmets with the eyes cut out

Rat racing them junkyard jeeps

Yeah, me and my crew, man, we grew up

On Hank Jr. '83

D A

I didn't choose the redneck life

E A

No, the redneck life chose me

[Chorus]

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'll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon

Any ole day of the week

D A

I didn't choose the redneck life

E A

The redneck life chose me

[Instrumental Break]

D A E A

[Verse]

And I grew up swimming in cut-off jeans

Down at the bridge at the castor creek

We'd bend our hat 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

D A

I didn't choose the redneck life

E A

The redneck life chose me

[Chorus]

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'll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon

Any ole day of the week
