Trace AdkinsRough & Ready Lyrics:
Mudgrips white-tip, cigar stickin' out of my face
Earn hart racing sticker on the window
Banged up fender four by four
Straight pipe roar primer and rust all over the door
Scarred up knuckles mack belt buckle
White t-shirt ain't afraid to work
Got a what are you looking at? Assole smirk
Cold beer hot wings
Wranglers skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack ball cap
Dont take no crap
Aint a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Work boots one blue suit
Size too small dont wear it at all
Unless somebody kicks gets hitched
That's a bitch makes me itch
Up with the sun off on the run
Makin' money money 'cause I wanna have fun
Five o'clock whistle off like a missle
Got a hot date girl named Kate
Thinks I'm cool 'cause I shoot straight
Ain't one thing about her fake
She's long and tall
And she goes great with
Cold beer hot wings
Wranglers skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Rough and ready baby
Ah, here's Johnny
Ah, there you go Gordo
I ain't never heard anything like that
Well you are who you are
And thats alright with me
But I am who I am
And thats all I can be
I like cold beer hot wings
Wranglers skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Rough and ready
Rough and ready baby
Ah, thats me and my buddies
Were all just alike
We say hey watch this
Well in time to look
You okay
What you looking at?
Yeah that a real gun
Yah that a real gun on that gun rack
No I don't have a permit for it
You have a permit to ask stupid questions like that?
You get hurtin' boy

1 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is a popular driver on the NASCAR circut. NASCAR is a
an autoracing association, which sponsors races that are rapidly becoming
one of America’s top spectator sports.
2 Four by Four (4x4), or FWD (four wheel drive), or AWD (all wheel drive)
is a four-wheeled vehicle with a drivetrain that allows all four wheels to
receive torque from the engine equally. While many people associate the term
with off-road vehicles and Sport utility vehicles only, powering all four
wheels provides better control in normal road cars on many surfaces. In
abbreviations such as 4x4, the first figure is normally taken as the total
number of wheels and the second is normally taken as the number of powered
axle-ends.
3 "Straight pipe" refers to an exhaust pipe that has been altered by
removing the muffler to give the car extra speed. Doing this also removes
the muffling sound of the exhaust, creating loud noises.
4 Mack Trucks is one of the world’s leading truck manufacturing companies.
The company’s headquarters are in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The phrase,
"Built like a Mack Truck," has become part of American slang meaning
something that is tough. Belt buckles with the Mack logo on them are very
popular in the US.
5 Wranglers are a brand of blue jeans. The brand is owned by the VF
Corporation, who also owns Lee, JanSport and The North Face, among others.
Its headquarters are located in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina, with
production plants in a variety of locations throughout the world.
6 A Skoal ring is the mark made by a round can containing smokeless
tobacco, such as chewing tobacco or snuff. Two of the most popular brands of
these tobaccos are Copenhagen and Skoal. The tins are often kept in a
rear pocket of ones jeans. Cowboys and other blue-collar types can often be
seen with the outline of this can in the rear jeans pocket because with
time, the tin wears a white ring on the pocket, hence a "Skoal Ring" or
"Cope (short for Copenhagen) Ring."
7 There are several types of gun racks made especially for the storage of
guns and rifles. In this song, the gun rack referred to is one that fits
inside the cab of a pickup truck or interior of a car, is attached to the
inside roof, and holds a gun or rifle for easy access by the driver. This
type of carrier is more common in rural areas of the United States.
8 "Rough & Ready" peaked at #13 on the U.S. Country Singles Chart and #28
in Canada on their country chart, and was certified Gold in the U.S. by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Also, a music video was
directed by Michael Salomon, and featured NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
