your redneck past
they'll never send you home

roots
the funny limbs that grow underground
that keep you from falling down
don't you think that you'll need 'em now

just find a place where no one knows of
your redneck past
yeah you can easily dispose of
your redneck past
you'll show them all back home

desole,

please cook my steak again
je suis Americain
desole,
je ne parle pas Francais

your redneck ass
there are a hundred ways to cover
your redneck past
