Lyrics
Redneck Heaven By Andy Budd - Copyright 2006 ? All Rights Reserved
My friend Steve just retired, he was a plumber by trade
Sold his business for boat load of money, and now he's got it made
He bought a simple little house on a 3/4 acre lot
He calls it Redneck Heaven, the little house that really rocks
He had his girlfriend renovate it , but, she got a little carried away
Four hundred thousand later, It's a place He likes to say?
Is the only half-a-million dollar one bedroom cabin in the USA
A nine-hundred square feet of redneck heaven, worth every penny paid.
Chorus:
Pink Flamingos in the front yard, a velvet Elvis on the wall
A KEG-A-RATOR in the livin? room, a lava lamp in the hall
The sign above the door says "Come on in - get ready to rock"
A little slice of Redneck Heaven on a 3/4 acre lot
He's got a big ol? Wal-Mart pool with a swim up bar and a tiki torch
An six by six hot tub, outside the bedroom on the porch
TV dinners in the freezer, the bar is stocked with booze & beer
A big screen in every room, it?s the perfect party atmosphere
He calls the only bedroom his little passion pit
Mirrors on the ceiling, Lord, he thinks he's all of it
Watching TV naked from a Lazy-Boy by the pool
He don't care what the neighbors think, he thinks it's pretty cool
Chorus: (Repeat from above)
He lays out in that Lazy-Boy wearin? nothin? but Ray-Ban?s
Sippin? ice cold Budweiser workin? on his tan and
Everything is going just according to the master plan
When the boys come over to party they yell ?Steve! You are the Man!?
Chorus & repeat last line of chorus and finish
