Intro: A  D (2x) 
 
Verse:
 
         A 
Well the boys 'round here don't listen to The Beatles 
    D 
Run ole Bocephus through a jukebox needle 
     A 
At a honky-tonk, where their boots stomp 
    D 
All night, what? (That's right) 
         A 
Yea, and what they call work, digging in the dirt 
      D 
Gotta get it in the ground 'fore the rain come down 
       A 
To get paid, to get the girl 
        D 
In your 4 wheel drive (A country boy can survive) 
 
 
        A 
Yea the boys 'round here 
              D 
Drinking that ice cold beer 
              A 
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks 
             D 
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust 
    A 
The boys 'round here 
             D 
Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs 
    A 
Backwoods legit, don't take no shit 
D 
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit 
 
 
 
(bridge)
 
A             D                       A        D 
    Aw heck  (Red red red red red red redneck) 
 
 
(verse)
 
         A                 (no chord) 
Well the boys 'round here, they're keeping it country 
 
Ain't a damn one know how to do the dougie 
 A 
(You don't do the dougie?) No, not in Kentucky 
          D 
But these girls 'round here yep, they still love me 
         A 
Yea, the girls 'round here, they all deserve a whistle 
D 
Shakin' that sugar, sweet as Dixie crystal 
     A 
They like that y'all and southern drawl 
    D 
And just can't help it cause they just keep fallin' 
 
 
         
 
        A 
Yea the boys 'round here 
              D 
Drinking that ice cold beer 
              A 
Talkin' 'bout girls, talkin' 'bout trucks 
             D 
Runnin' them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust 
    A 
The boys 'round here 
             D 
Sending up a prayer to the man upstairs 
    A 
Backwoods legit, don't take no shit 
D 
Chew tobacco, chew tobacco, chew tobacco, spit
