Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, alright boys
Follow me, mostly in A
Stay with me now
Listen up, this is philosophical
[Verse 2]
Mud grips, white tip
Cigar stickin' out of my face
Earnhardt racing sticker on the window
Banged up fender
4x4, straight pipe roar
Primer and rust all over the door
Scarred up knuckles, Mack belt buckle
White T-shirt, ain't afraid to work
Got a "what-are-you-lookin'-at-asshole?" smirk
[Verse 3]
Cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, Skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
[Verse 4]
Work boots, one blue suit
Size too small, won't wear it at all
Unless somebody kicks, gets hitched
That's a bitch, makes me itch
Up with the sun, off on the run
Makin' money-money, 'cause I wanna have fun
5 o'clock whistle, off like a missile
Got a hot date, girl named Kate
Thinks I'm cool, 'cause I shoot straight
Ain't one thing about her fake
She's long and tall, and she goes great with
[Verse 5]
Cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, Skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy-toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Rough and ready, baby
[Verse 6]
Aww, here's Johnny
Oh, there you go, Gordo
I ain't never heard nothing like that
[Verse 7]
Well, you are who you are
And that's alright with me
But I am who I am
And that's all I can be
[Verse 8]
I like cold beer, hot wings
Wranglers, Skoal ring
Get just what you see
Gun rack, ball cap
Don't take no crap
Ain't a pretty boy toy
I'll rock you steady
Rough and ready
Rough and ready
Rough and ready, baby
[Verse 9]
Ah, that's me and my buddies
We're all just alike, we say, "Hey, watch this"
Well, that didn't turn out too good
You okay?
[Verse 10]
What are you lookin' at?
Yeah, that's a real gun in that gun rack
No, I don't have a permit for it
You got a permit to ask stupid questions like that?
