Lyrics

REDNECK WAY 2006 words and music Wayne Carpenter

I got lucky in Kentucky on the night that we first met,
This bashful girl from Nashville, one I never could forget.
She didn?t like my drinking or my funny cigarettes
She found a real hillbilly, she didn?t know it yet

I ain?t no Einstein, But I know one thing is true
She seems to criticize everything I do,
No need to analyze, I don?t need a shrink
It?s just the redneck way I think.

I got busted in Augusta driving someone else?s car,
Wrong way down a one-way street, I didn?t get too far.
I?ll never be the brightest light up on the marquee,
I?m smarter than my daddy was, that?s good enough for me


I ain?t no Einstein, that much is true
She wants to criticize every damn thing I do.
No need to analyze, baby, I don?t need a shrink,
This is the redneck way I think.
No need to criticize, baby, get in sync,
It?s just the redneck way I think

Lord, she should know better
I?m long past twenty-one
I?m just a good old country boy
Trying to have some fun

She treats me like some desert rat an alley cat dragged in,
I?ve never been an angel, I?ve had my share of sins.
If the grass is greener, on the other side,
She ought to fill her tank with gas or get a ticket to ride.

I ain?t no Einstein but I know one thing is true
I don?t think Sigmund Freud would even have a clue
Don?t try to analyze me, I don?t need a shrink
It?s just the redneck way I think
Before we say goodbye, why don?t we have a drink
That?s just the redneck way I think
