I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name

Take a little bit of gasoline
Couple scratch-offs tickets, the American dream
A whole Hank record and a double dose of Merle
Homegrown shine in a mason jar
Back 40 fire and a million stars
Mix it all up with a short bed and a girl

I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name
I've got grit and I've got pride
I've got the good Lord on my side
A little workin' hard and livin' free
That's what it takes to make a man like me

A case of beer and a can of snuff
Got a whole damn town that knows I'm tough
A worn out truck with a coon dog in the back
My pretty blue-eyed dream on my arm
She's a real good girl but I'd bet the farm
I could get her real fired up in a haystack

I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name
I've got grit and I've got pride
I've got the good Lord on my side
A little workin' hard and livin' free
That's what it takes to make a man like me


I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name

I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name
I've got grit and I've got pride
I've got the good Lord on my side
A little workin' hard and livin' free
That's what it takes to make a man like me

I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name
I've got grit and I've got pride
I've got the good Lord on my side
A little workin' hard and livin' free
That's what it takes to make a man like me

I've got red blood in my veins
My mama's prayer's and Daddy's last name
