Lucas Was A Redneck Lyrics - Singles - Mac Davis

Lucas was a redneck through and through 

Drinkin' and fightin' was all the boy knew 

Born with a corncob in his mouth 

In Tupelo Mississippi way down south 

His daddy died drunk with a belly fulla rum 

His mama died waitin' for a miracle to come 

People said 

The boy's born to be a bum 

Hangin' around with the rest of the riff-raff 

Down at the pool hall on Main Street 

Wearin' a red bandana and a sweaty ol' straw hat 

Union-All coveralls, dirty bare feet 

One half stupid and the other half dumb 

Born to live and die in a sharecropper's slum 

People said 

The boy's born to be a bum 

Who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas 

Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone 

Will it be the black man you call the nigger 

The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger 

Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone 

Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... 

...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" 

Now who's gonna cry when ya die, Lucas 

Who's gonna miss ya when you're gone 

Will it be the black man you call the nigger 

The hippie that'cha beat up just 'cause you was bigger 

Will the riff-raff laugh at the epitaph on your tombstone 

I'll Betcha says "Here lies Lucas, born to be a bum... 

...Died like his daddy with a belly fulla rum" 

UHHHHHHHH! 

Goodbye, Lucas...
