Song | (What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks |
Artist | The Charlie Daniels Band |
Album | The Roots Remain |
What this world needs is a few more rednecks | |
Some people ain't afraid to take a stand | |
What this world needs is a little more respect | |
For the Lord and the law and the workin' man | |
We could use a little peace and satisfaction | |
Some good people up front to take the lead | |
A little less talk and a little more action | |
And a few more rednecks is what we need | |
I was raised on beans and cornbread | |
And I like my chicken fried | |
Yes, I drive a pickup truck | |
And I'm full of | |
American pride | |
I keep a Bible on my table | |
I got a flag out on my lawn | |
And I don't believe in mindin' | |
No one's business but my own | |
And I love them | |
Rambo movies | |
I think they make a lot of sense | |
And it's a shame ole | |
John Wayne | |
Didn't live to run for president | |
And I don't care what nobody says | |
I don't trust ole | |
Gorbachev | |
And I don't know who turned him on | |
But it's time to turn him off [Chorus] | |
Now they're tryin' to take my guns away | |
And that would be just fine | |
If you take ‘em away from the criminals first | |
I'll gladly give ya mine | |
And I don't mind payin' taxes | |
But it makes my temper itch | |
When my hard earned money goes | |
To make some politician rich | |
What most people call a redneck | |
Ain't nothin' but a workin' man | |
And he makes his livin' | |
By the sweat of his brow | |
And the calluses on his hands | |
Now you intellectuals may not like it | |
But there ain't nothin' that you can do | |
Cause there's a whole lot more of us common-folks | |
Then there ever will be of you [Chorus] | |
That's what we need | |
And a few more rednecks is what we need |
What this world needs is a few more rednecks | |
Some people ain' t afraid to take a stand | |
What this world needs is a little more respect | |
For the Lord and the law and the workin' man | |
We could use a little peace and satisfaction | |
Some good people up front to take the lead | |
A little less talk and a little more action | |
And a few more rednecks is what we need | |
I was raised on beans and cornbread | |
And I like my chicken fried | |
Yes, I drive a pickup truck | |
And I' m full of | |
