"What this World Needs is a Few More Rednecks"

Charlie Daniels, Jack Gavin, Charlie Hayward, Taz DiGregorio

 

What this world needs is a few more rednecks
Some people ain’t afraid to take a stand
What this world needs is a little more respect
For the Lord and the law and the working man
We could use a little peace and satisfaction
Some good people up front to take the lead
A little less talk and a little more action
And a few more rednecks is what we need

I was raised on beans and cornbread
And I like my chicken fried
And yes I drive a pickup truck and I’m full of American pride
I keep a Bible on my table and a flag out on my lawn
And I don’t believe in minding no one’s business but my own
Now I love them Rambo movies
I think they make a lot of sense
And it’s a shame old John Wayne didn’t live to run for President
And I don’t care what nobody says I don’t trust old Gorbachev
And I don’t know who turned him on, it’s time to turn him off

Now they’re trying to take my guns away
And that would be just fine
If you’ll take them away from the criminals first
I’ll gladly give you mine
And I don’t mind paying taxes, but it makes my temper itch
When my hard earned money goes to make some politician rich
What most people call a redneck ain’t nothing but a working man
He earns his living by the sweat of his brow
And the callouses on his hands
Now you intellectuals make not like it
But there’s a whole lot more of us common folks
Than there ever will be of you
