Gimme a river and a cypress tree A day of good weather, and I will be As happy as a little green frog in the rain Gimme a shellcracker on the line Deep fried potatoes, and a homemade wine And a woman to work it off later and cry my name It don't take much, it don't take much It don't take much to please A redneck like me
Gimme a truck with four good tires A cheap Have-A-Tampa, and my desires Will not exceed the limits of my means I don't need no Porsche car No pumped-up music or a whacked-out bar No ghost-white chicky, dressed up like a bad, black dream It don't take much, it don't take much It don't take much to please A redneck like me
I have seen it all in my life Running up and down the road in overdrive But now the time has come to take it easy It don't take much, it don't take much It don't take much to please A redneck like me A redneck like me A redneck like me
