Lyrics
EDUCATED REDNECK
Writer: Jerry Lee Surber (ASCAP) Copyright 2006
I COME...FROM A SMALL TOWN IN TEXAS
WHERE PEOPLE STILL SAY YES SIR AND MAAM
THESE DAYS...I'M A LONG LONG WAY FROM TEXAS
BUT IN MY MIND...I STILL KNOW JUST WHO I AM
I'M THE ONE...THEY ALL SAID...WOULD NEVER MAKE IT
WON'T NEVER AMOUNT TO NOTHIN...SO THEY SAID
BUT HERE I AM TODAY...STILL PLAYIN' THIS GUITAR
AND IT'S JUST TOO BAD THAT MOST OF THEM ARE DEAD
SO I KEEP ON WRITIN' SONGS...AND PLAYIN' MUSIC
CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I'M STILL HERE
SHARIN' ALL MY HOPES AND DREAMS WITH STRANGERS
TRYIN' JUST TO OUTLIVE ALL MY FEARS
NOW IF YOU EVER COME...TO SEE US PLAY
GET READY...TO CLAP YOUR HANDS...AND STOMP YOUR FEET
CAUSE WE'RE HERE TO RAISE SOME HELL AND CELEBRATE
WE'RE HERE...TO GIVE THE REDNECK WORLD RELIEF
YES I COME FROM A SMALL TOWN IN TEXAS
A COUNTRY BOY...IS STILL JUST WHO I AM
NOTHIN' BUT AN EDUCATED REDNECK
IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME...I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
CAUSE AN EDUCATED REDNECK'S WHO I AM
