Key: GG | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


G               C           
He was born in West Virginia, 
    D                              G 
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz 
 
G                                      C 
And he's not responsible for what he's doing 
 
           D                       G 
'Cause his mother made him what he is. 
  
G                           C            
Up against the wall Redneck Mother, 
 
D                                 G 
Mother, who has raised her son so well. 
 
G                                   C                 
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk. 
 
     D                                 G 
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell. 
 
 
Sure does like his Falstaff beer, 
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor; 
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck; 
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker 
 
Chorus:
 
Well,  
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck 
O is for the Oil I put on my hair 
T is for T-bird 
H is for Haggard 
E is for eggs, and 
R is for REDNECK. 
 
Chorus:
