Redneck Life

A
I grew up in a batten board cabin
                            E
At the dead end of a gravel street
E
I got my first payin' job when I 
turned 10
                           A
Cause money didn't grow on trees
A
Cheap cigarettes with the windows up
                           D
Was just part of the air I breathed
D                   A
I didn't choose the redneck life
    E                  A
The redneck life chose me

[Verse]
     A
Yeah me and my daddy built my first 
car
                       E
Strung a motor up in a tree
            E
We wore the beer box helmets with 
the eyes cut out
                         A
Rat racing them junkyard jeeps
      A
Yeah, me and my crew, man, we grew 
up
             D
On Hank Jr. '83
D                   A
I didn't choose the redneck life

        E                  A
No, the redneck life chose me

[Chorus]
A
I didn't choose the redneck life
                       E
The redneck life chose me
E
What you see is what you get
                             A
And what you get is what you see
            A
I'll take a Mountain Dew over a 
silver spoon
D
Any ole day of the week
D                   A
I didn't choose the redneck life
    E                  A
The redneck life chose me

[Instrumental Break]
D A E A
D A E A

[Verse]
A
And I grew up swimming in cut-off 
jeans
Down at the bridge at the castor 
E
creek
E
We'd bend our hat bills as far as we
 could bend them
We spent the fall sittin' high in a 
A
tree
      A
Yeah, huntin' and fishin' wasn't 
just a trend
                      D
It was what we did to eat
D                   A
I didn't choose the redneck life
    E                  A
The redneck life chose me

[Chorus]
A
Yeah I didn't choose the redneck 
life
                       E
The redneck life chose me
E
What you see is what you get
                             A
And what you get is what you see
            A
I'll take a Mountain Dew over a 
silver spoon
D
Any ole day of the week
D                   A
I didn't choose the redneck life
    E                  A
The redneck life chose me...
