[Verse 1]
E
In this day and age, Lifestyles ain't all the same.
Everybody's lookin for somebody else to blame.
A
But nothing irritates me worse than you hear you rich folks whine.
E
You're addicted to wealth and to yourself,you're addicted to the dollar sign.
B
You put me down cause I was raised
A
Just a little bit different from you,
E
Well I work with my hands and respect my lands,
B E
I'm trustee tried and true.
[Verse 2]
E
You get up to go to work, put on your pretty suit and tie,
Well I put on a beat up shirt, work boots, and faded old levi's.
A
I grind my fucking knuckles to the bone to make ends meet.
E
So I'm glad that you get mad, when I drive fast down your street.
B
You get pissed off cause we like being
A
Mad all over town.
E
Well you can go to hell cause my Rebel Yell
B E
Volume don't go down.
[Chorus]
A
We're just backwoods boys, making noise in a new age society.
E
And we don't give a shit about the stock market or life of luxury.
A
A simple man is what I am, status ain't for me,
B
I may not have a yacht, but I'm happy as can be.
A
I can drink a beer and shoot a deer faster than you can blink.
E
But you think I'm trash and you're high class and that your shit don't stink.
B A
Well I'm a honky tonkin, rib rompin, shit stompin redneck and
E B E
I don't give a fuck what you think.
[Verse 3]
E
You snobby mr. Monebags have people you call friends,
But when it came down to it, you'd probly be to greedy to help them.
A
Well I've got more buddies for whom I'd put my life on the line,
E
Cause I know they'd do the same for me if I was ever in a bind.
B A
Well your heart is made from parts that come from a septic tank,
E B E
When you kids don't earn you'll start to burn, you can take that to the bank.
[Verse 4]
E
You read the Wall Street Journal, sippin champagne in your limosine,
Well I'll be alright with a cold Bud Light and a hot rod magazine.
A
You all love your bmw's and Porches that you drive,
E
Well my gas guzzling '67 Bowtie suits me fine.
B A
So keep in mind you pretty kids that think you're all so cool,
E B E
Just remember we're the ones that beat the shit out of you in school.
[Chorus]
A
We're just backwoods boys, making noise in a new age society.
E
And we don't give a shit about the stock market or life of luxury.
A
A simple man is what I am, status ain't for me,
B
I may not have a yacht, but I'm happy as can be.
A
I can drink a beer and shoot a deer faster than you can blink.
E
But you think I'm trash and you're high class and that your shit don't stink.
B A
Well I'm a honky tonkin, rib rompin, shit stompin redneck and
E B E
I don't give a fuck what you think.

[Verse 5]
E
You like to play crochet, talk politics and vanity.
Well the grand ol' opry on saturday night on the radio's fine with me.
A
I may not have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth,
E
But I'm proud to be a no bullshit boy from down south.
B A
I'm 100% workin man that's what I'll always be,
E B E
So you upper class can kiss my ass cause you ain't worth a shit to me.
[Chorus]
