(Yeeeeah.)
(Aw'right boys, follow me, mostly in A. Stay with me now.
Listen up, this is philosophical.)
Mudgrips, white-tipped cigar
Stickin' out of my face.
Earnhardt [ 2 ] racin' sticker
On the window. Banged up fender.
4x4, straight pipe roar [ 3 ] .
Primer and rust all over the door.
Scarred up knuckles, Mack [ 4 ] belt buckle.
White T-shirt. Ain't afraid to work.
Got a "What-are-you-lookin'-at-asshole" smirk.
Cold beer, hot wings.
Wranglers, Skoal ring [ 5 ] .
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.
Work boots, one blue suit.
Size too small, don't wear at it all,
Unless somebody kicks, gets hitched.
That's a bitch, makes me itch.
Up with sun, off on the run.
Makin' money money cause I wanna have fun.
5 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 & ready, baby.
(Ahhhh, here's Johnny.)
[ Instrumental break. ]
(Ahhh, there you go Frodo.)

(I ain't never heard anythin' like that.)
Well you are who you are,
That's all right with me.
But I am who I am,
That's 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.
(Ahh...it's me and my buddies
We're all just alike.
We say, "Hey watch this.
That didn't turn out too good.
You OK? Ha ha.
What are you lookin' at?
Yeah that's a real gun in that gun rack.
No I don't have a permit for it.
You got a permit to ask stupid questions like that?
You need a hurtin'boy.")

NASCAR is a an autoracing association, which sponsors races that are
rapidly becoming one of America’s top spectator sports.
[ 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 ] A Skoal ring is the mark made by a round can containing smokeless
tobacco (such as chewing tobacco or snuff), that, with most men who dip,
is kept in the left rear pocket of his jeans. Cowboys and other blue
collar types can often be seen with the outline of this can in his rear
jeans pocket. With time, it wears a white ring on the pocket, hence a
"Skoal Ring” or “Cope (short for Copenhagen) Ring." |
