You can trade that pickup for a brand new Cadillac
Slap you on that custom Gucci suit and ditch that camo hat
You can move from the boondocks to Beverly Hills
Drop a little hip hop in the boombox, but still
You can't hide red
Don't you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red
You can see it in everything
Yeah, like the way we walk, the way we talk
It's the down-home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red
With that twang, we sang
You can't hide red
And we smoke and we drank
You can't hide red
You might get your soul endorsed
Saying grace and "Thank you, Lord
For the good times and the good life
We all live, amen"
So what if we all backwards
Just because you talkin' faster?
Hell, you ain't got no tobacco
In your lip
You can't hide red
Don't you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red
You can see it in everything
Yeah, like the way we walk, the way we talk
It's the down-home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red
With that twang, we sang
You can't hide red
And we smoke and we drank
You can't hide red
You can move from the boondocks to Beverly Hills
Drop a little hip hop in the boombox, but still
You can't hide red
Don't you know we were born this way?
You can't hide red
You can see it in everything
Yeah, like the way we walk, the way we talk
It's the down-home way we raised
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
You can't hide red
With that twang, we sang
You can't hide red
And we smoke and we drank
You can't hide red
