Lyrics up against the wall redneck mother

Bobby Bare Lyrics

"Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother"

He was born in Oklahoma
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
He's not responsible for what he's doing
'Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall, Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell

Sure does like his Falstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
He drives a '57 GMC pickup truck
Got a gun rack, 'Goat roper needs love too sticker

And it's up against the wall, Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty four and drinking in a honky tonk
Just kicking hippies' asses and raising hell, oh baby

M is for the mud flaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird, 'H' is for haggard
E is for eggs and 'R' is for Redneck

Up against the wall, Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well
He's thirty four and drinking in a honky tonk
Kicking hippies' asses and raising hell

He's up against the wall, Redneck Mother
Mother, who has raised her son so well

Lyrics up against the wall redneck mother

Jerry Jeff Walker Lyrics

"Up Against The Wall, Red Neck"

He was born in Oklahoma
His wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz
He's not responsible for what he's doin'
'Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother who has raised a son so well
He's 34 and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies asses and raisin' hell

Sure does like his Fallstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that wild turkey liquer
He drives a 57 GMC pickup truck
Got a gun rack
"Goat ropers need love too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother who has raised a son so well
He's 34 and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies asses and rainin' hell

Aw, play it for mama

M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pick-up truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for t-bird
H is for haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for redneck

Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother who has raised a son so well
He's 34 and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies asses and raisin' hell
Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mother who has raised a son so well
He's 34 and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies asses and raisin' hell
What's that spell, Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA

Spoken: This song was first by Ray Wylie Hubbard

Sung: He was born in Oklahoma,

His wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz

He's not responsible for what he's doing

Cause his mother made him what he is.

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,

Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;

Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;

He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

M is for the mud flaps you give me for my pickup truck

O is for the Oil I put on my hair

T is for T-bird

H is for Haggard

E is for eggs, and

R is for REDNECK.

Up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

It's up against the wall Redneck Mother,

Mother, who has raised her son so well.

He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.

Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
