  			E              A           
He was born in Oklahoma 
        B7                              E 
And his wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz 
E                                  A 
He ain?t responsible for what he's doin? 
           B7                      E 
'Cause his mother made him what he is 

         E                            A            
And it?s up Against the wall redneck mother 
B7                               E 
Mother who has raised her son so well 
     E                             A                 
He's thirty-four and drinkin? in a honky tonk 
       B7                                 E 
Just-a kicking hippie?s asses and raising hell 
 
 
He shore does like his Falstaff beer, 
And chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor 
He drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck 
With a gun rack and a "Goat roper needs love too" bumper sticker

E                         A  
M is for the mudflaps she gave him for his pickup truck 
B7                                  E 
And O is for the oil he puts on his hair 
E                 
T is for Thunderbird 
A  
H is for Haggard 
B7  
E is for eggs, and 
         E 
R is for redneck
