[Verse 1]
C
Granddaddy drank heavy and daddy drank light
C F
I can turn any day to Saturday night if I want to
F
And most the time I want to
C
I can still paint a picture of a hemlock view
C F
My mountains had smoke, but the ones that were blue that we’d buy then
F
Were the ones I spent a little more time in
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Between the hangovers and the handcuffs
Fsus2
It’s been a minute since I’ve had one in my hand ’cause
[Chorus]
C
Everybody says it’s gonna be the death of me
F
But these days I’m livin’ on the side of alive
F
Just ’cause I smile through my sobriety
C
Don’t mean it ain’t chillin’ in the back of my mind
C
I ain’t sayin’ I swore it off for good
F
I’m just sayin’ I’m doing the best I can
F
But what do you expect from a redneck?
C
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
[Verse 2]
C
When I was puttin’ ’em down, they put me through hell
C
Put some scars on some trucks, myself as well
F
But if I never did put that can to my mouth
F
I wouldn’t have nothin’ I could sing about, yeah
[Chorus]
C
Everybody says it’s gonna be the death of me
F
But these days I’m livin’ on the side of alive
F
Just ’cause I smile through my sobriety
C
Don’t mean it ain’t chillin’ in the back of my mind
C
I ain’t sayin’ I swore it off for good
F
I’m just sayin’ I’m doing the best I can
F
But what do you expect from a redneck?
C
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
F
Ah yeah, I was born with a beer in my hand
[Bridge]
C
Whoa
C
I ain’t the devil that I acted like years ago
F
Oh
F
But I’ll be back one day, y’all, even though
[Chorus]
C
Everybody says it’s gonna be the death of me
F
But these days I’m livin’ on the side of alive
F
Just ’cause I smile through my sobriety
C
Don’t mean it ain’t chillin’ in the back of my mind
C
I ain’t sayin’ I swore it off for good
F
I’m just sayin’ I’m doing the best I can
F
But what do you expect from a redneck?
C
Hell, I was born with a beer in my hand
F
Ah yeah, I was born with a beer in my hand
C
Born with a beer in my hand
