[Verse 1]

I love tearing down some country road as the red sun’s sinking down

Nothing but corn and cotton fields for miles and miles around

With every twist and turn, there's another million dollar view

Some folks might not see it

But for some old redneck reason I do

I still wear my beat-up boots and my old worn-out jeans

I still say the blessing when I sit down to eat

And you can bet I mind my manners every time my mama walks in the room

Some folks don't think that matters

But for some old redneck reason I do


[Chorus]

For some old redneck reason, sometimes I get the feeling

Maybe I give too much of a damn

I'm a little old fashion leaning, out of style and out of season

But I reckon that's just the way I am


[Verse 2]

Sometimes I lay here thinkin' ‘bout the good times that we had

Wonder why it all went wrong or the night it all went bad

And I probably shouldn't call you up, thinkin' I can patch things up with you

Oh, but when I get to drinking for some old redneck reason I do


[Chorus]

For some old redneck reason, sometimes I get the feeling

Maybe I give too much of a damn

I'm a little old fashion leaning, out of style and out of season

But I reckon that's just the way I am


[Outro]

Oh, how do you feel about it Charlie?

I was standing behind a couple teenage kids at a high school football game

They didn't take their hats off when the national anthem played

And I felt like jerkin a knot in their tail, for disrespecting that old Red, White and Blue

Well, maybe I shouldn't get fightin' mad

But for some old redneck reason I do
