Standard Tuning - No Capo
[Verse]
A
I grew up in a batten board cabin
E
At the dead end of a gravel street
E
I got my first payin' job when I turned 10
A
Cause money didn't grow on trees
A
Cheap cigarettes with the windows up
D
Was just part of the air I breathed
D A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E A
The redneck life chose me
[Verse]
A
Yeah me and my daddy built my first car
E
Strung a motor up in a tree
E
We wore the beer box helmets with the eyes cut out
A
Rat racing them junkyard jeeps
A
Yeah, me and my crew, man, we grew up
D
On Hank Jr. '83
D A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E A
No, the redneck life chose me
[Chorus]
A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E
The redneck life chose me
E
What you see is what you get
A
And what you get is what you see
A
I'll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
D
Any ole day of the week
D A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E A
The redneck life chose me
[Instrumental Break]
D A E A
D A E A
[Verse]
A
And I grew up swimming in cut-off jeans
E
Down at the bridge at the castor creek
E
We'd bend our hat bills as far as we could bend them
A
We spent the fall sittin' high in a tree
A
Yeah, huntin' and fishin' wasn't just a trend
D
It was what we did to eat
D A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E A
The redneck life chose me
[Chorus]
A
Yeah I didn't choose the redneck life
E
The redneck life chose me
E
What you see is what you get
A
And what you get is what you see
A
I'll take a Mountain Dew over a silver spoon
D
Any ole day of the week
D A
I didn't choose the redneck life
E A
The redneck life chose me...
