Standard American

He killed what he ate and brewed what he drank
 Listened to Colt, Jerry, Reid and Hank
 A bear of a man, hardly left the woods
 Six foot four, solid rock when he stood
 He'd hunt with a hatchet and his own bare hands
 Refused welfare, only lived off the land
 Drove an 87 Dodge, straight pipes off the back
 Stocked his house with white-tail racks
 He's a rebel, a redneck, grew up in the sticks
 A standard American son'bitch
 His shirt says Ralph but his real name's Fred
 Got grease on his hands and sweat on his head
 Pants oiled black and arms are scarred
 Knuckles more busted than his credit card
 Spends weekdays working under the hood
 Got mouths to feed and he knows he should
 Come Friday at five he'll collect that pay
 Top it off with a cold one at the end of the day
 He's blue-collar, a sinner, I can't decide which
 A standard American son'bitch
 He drives a Peterbilt with 18 wheels
 The ICC hot on his heels
 Running them roads since age 18
 Ain't a city limit sign that he hasn't seen
 Grinding them gears, heading down the line
 He's a slave to the law, the law and time
 Make it home for two-day's sleep
 Then it's back to his cockpit and Air Ride seat
 He's a driver, a highway man
 Loves his woman and two kids
 A standard American son'bitch
 He ain't heard too good since 67
 Flew a chopper nick named The Stairway To Heaven
 Got an M16, hacks up black tar
 Vietnam plates on the back of his car
 He don't talk too much and he don't waste words
 When he does, you damn sure better know he's heard
 A ponytail, little thin up top
 Rolls his own for ten cents a pop
 He's a soldier, a veteran, beat up a bitch
 A standard American son'bitch
 You can call me a redneck, call me a hick
 Say I'm a drunk, messed up just a bit
 But the flag I fly's got the stars and stripes
 Test my freedom, I'll be down for a fight
 We're the backbone, blue collar
 Working, trying to earn a dollar
 Hurt somebody, feeds our kids
