I'm Just a Redneck at Heart

Ronnie Milsap · Keyed Up [RCA Victor] [1983]

Lets cook!



Well, I was sittin' at the table with the big boss from New York

When I looked down and noticed that they'd given me two forks

I thought, what a waste, I only use one hand at a time

Then the waiter came and poured a Cabernet '69.

I had my heart set on a Lonestar

Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.



A pretty lady said lets dance, well, how could I refuse

I said alright, but if you don't mind the next time I'll ask you

Well, there I was with the orchestra playing "In the Mood"

I had two left feet, I said I must admit it's not what I'm used to.

I'd rather two-step to a pedal steel guitar

Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.



Chorus:

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside

Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive

I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar

Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.



Monday morning back at work and it's the same old grind, Lord, Lord

A stack of papers on my desk and L.A. on the line

I sneak off on a coffee break and read my Field and Stream

I drink my Lipton's Cup O' Soup while floating down a dream.

You won't find it written on my business card

But I'm just a redneck at heart.



Chorus:

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside

Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive

I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar

Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.



Chorus:

I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside

Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive

I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar

Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.



I'm just a redneck at heart

Yes, I am!...
