Granddaddy drank Henny, and daddy drank Light
I can turn any day to Saturday night, if I want to
And most the time I want to
I can still paint a picture of a hemlock view
My mountains had smoke, but the ones that were blue that we'd buy then
Were the ones that I spent a little more time in
Between the hangovers and the handcuffs
It's been a minute since I had one in my hand, "cause
Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm livin' on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chillin' in the back of my mind
I ain't sayin' I swore it off for good
I'm just sayin' I'm doin' the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand

When I was puttin' 'em down, they put me through hell
Put some scars off on some trucks, myself as well
But if I never did put that can to my mouth
I wouldn't have nothin' I can sing about
Yeah, everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm livin' on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chillin' in the back of my mind
I ain't sayin' I swore it off for good
I'm just sayin' I'm doin' the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
Ah, yeah, I was born with a beer in my hand

Woah, I ain't the devil that I acted like years ago
No, but I'll be back one day y'all even though
Everybody says it's gonna be the death of me
But these days I'm livin' on the side of alive
Just 'cause I smile through my sobriety
Don't mean it ain't chillin' in the back of my mind
I ain't sayin' I swore it off for good
I'm just sayin' I'm doin' the best I can
But what do you expect from a redneck
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
