Jerry Jeff Walker Up Against the Wall, Red Neck (Live 1973 - Luckenbach, TX) lyrics

He was born in Oklahoma
And his wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz
He's not responsible for what he's doing
'Cause his mother made him what he is

And it's up against the wall, Red Neck Mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four an' drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies' asses and raisin' hell

Sure does like his Falstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor
He drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck
He got a gun rack, goat roper needs love to stick it in

And it's up against the wall, Red Neck Mother, up
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Kickin' hippies' asses and raisin' hell, oh, baby

Oh, playful mamma


M is for the mud flaps she gave me for my pickup truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird, H is for haggard
E is for eggs and R is for Red Neck

Up against the wall, Red Neck Mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Kickin' hippies' asses and raisin' hell, let's go

Yeah, it's up against the wall, Red Neck Mother
Mother who has raised her son so well
He's thirty-four and drinkin' in a honky tonk
Just kickin' hippies' asses and raisin' hell

What's that smell?
Let's go get Oklahoma
[Incomprehensible]
