Son of Detroit
Kid Rock · Kid Rock
Just as loud as they will rock
I'm into Lynrd Skynrd, Run DMC
And DJ Scott la'rock
I like Willie, Waylon, George and Merle and alot of ZZ Top
I like country, soul, rock-n-roll
And I love me some hip hop
I'm a redneck rock-n-roll son of Detroit
I don't like no new wave
Techno bands around
I'm a drink a couple dozen beers
Go out and jam some gears
I'm a long haired rock-n-roll
Son of Detroit
I got bougart and west coast chopper
That sure makes them bitches stare
Got a dead flamingo wrapped around this cowboy hat I wear
I like 2 cuss, yell, scream. fight
And raise all kinds of hell
And if you ride to live like I live to ride
Then let me hear that rebel yell
I like my whiskey straight up daiquiris
Make me ill
And if someone touches my beaver skins
I get mad enough to kill
I got a rifle rack in my pick up truck
I'm a four wheelin maniac
And if you wanna race
Just name the place
And ill show you where its at
