This song has a great backstory by songwriter Ray Willie Hubbard. He walked into an Oklahoma roadhouse one day and encountered
an older woman with her son. “I walked in, the jukebox stopped, and they turned and looked at me [and my shaggy hair], he said. Hubbard just couldn’t get out of there fast...
[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 G-M-C pickup truck
He's got a gun rack, "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker
[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
[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 red neck
[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
Kicking hippies' asses and raising hell
[Chorus]
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?
