Redneck Life - Chris Janson
Verse
[A]I grew up in a batten board cabin
At the dead end of a gravel [E]street
[E]I got my first payin' job when I turned 10
Cause money didn't grow on [A]trees
[A]Cheap cigarettes with the windows up
Was just part of the air I [D]breathed
[D]I didn't choose the [A]redneck life
The [E]redneck life chose [A]me
Verse
Yeah [A]me and my daddy built my first car
Strung a motor up in a [E]tree
We wore the [E]beer box helmets with the eyes cut out
Rat racing them junkyard [A]jeeps
Yeah, [A]me and my crew, man, we grew up
On Hank Jr. [D]'83
[D]I didn't choose the [A]redneck life
No, the [E]redneck life chose [A]me
Chorus
[A]I didn't choose the redneck life
The redneck life chose [E]me
[E]What you see is what you get
And what you get is what you [A]see
I'll take a [A]Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
[D]Any ole day of the week
[D]I didn't choose the [A]redneck life
The [E]redneck life chose [A]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
Yeah, [A]huntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend
It was what we did to [D]eat
[D]I didn't choose the [A]redneck life
The [E]redneck life chose [A]me
Chorus
[A]Yeah I didn't choose the redneck life
The redneck life chose [E]me
[E]What you see is what you get
And what you get is what you [A]see
I'll take a [A]Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
[D]Any ole day of the week
[D]I didn't choose the [A]redneck life
The [E]redneck life chose [A]me...
