Verse 1:

We live out in the country, drive pick-up trucks and may look like we're down on our luck.

But there's more to it than that and as a matter of fact we won't be hittin' you up for a buck.
We work hard for a living. We earn an honest day's pay.
We take care of our own and we'll not have it any other way.


Chorus:


I'll dig the heels of my boots deep into Dixie ground.
I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna run.
Some think they need to change us. The South must really get under their skin.

But I was born a Southern Son and raised up with my bible and my guns.
I learned their virtues when I was young. I clung to my bible and my guns.
Now they're the heritage of what I am, a Southern Redneck Man.


Verse 2:


Come Sunday mornin' rain or shine you'll find me in a little wooden church.
It's nothin' fancy. We built it ourselves from the steeple to the bricks on the dirt.
My family's with me Sunday mornings. Our heads are bowed to the Lord.

Country folks down here are all of one accord.

Chorus:


I'll dig the heels of my boots deep into Dixie ground.
I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna run.

Some think they need to change us. The South must really get under their skin.
But I was born a Southern Son and raised up with my bible and my guns.
I learned their virtues when I was young. I clung to my bible and my guns.

Now they're the heritage of what I am, a Southern Redneck Man.

Bridge:


Try not to misunderstand us.
We live a lifestyle of freedom that most people won't ever see today.

Those who impose upon us the wrong they call right have been misled,
and we're not gonna change our ways.


Appended Chorus:

I'll dig the heels of my boots deep into Dixie ground.

I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna run.
Some think they need to change us. The South must really get under their skin.
But I was born a Southern Son and raised up with my bible and my guns.

I learned their virtues when I was young. I clung to my bible and my guns.
Now they're the heritage of what I am.
They leave no doubt about where I stand,

and I'm proud to tell anyone I am a Southern Redneck Man.
