[Intro]
This song is by Ray Wylie Hubbard
[Verse 1]
He was born in Oklahoma
And his wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
'Cause his mother made him what he is
[Chorus]
And it's up against the wall, redneck mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell
[Verse 2]
Sure does like his Falstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
He drives a '57 GMC pickup truck
Got a gun rack, "Goat roper needs love, too" sticker
[Chorus]
And it's up against the wall, redneck mother
Mothеr who has raised her son so well
Hе's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell, oh, baby
[Interlude]
Oh, play it for mama
[Bridge]
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs
And R is for redneck
[Chorus]
Up against the wall, redneck mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk (Honky tonk)
Kicking hippies' asses and raising hell, let's go
Yeah, it's up against the wall, redneck mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell
[Outro]
What's that spell?
