Down here on the Redneck Riviera a drinkin' beer and singing country songs
G                                                       D               G 
Chillin' with the motel door wide open hopin' somethin' good will come along
G                                                                    D 
Gulf Shores up through Apalachi-cola they got beaches of the whitest sand
G                                                      D               G
Nobody cares if gramma's got a tattoo or Bubba's got a hot wing in his hand


C                  G                A7                          D 
Redneck Riviera is where I wanna be down here on the Redneck Riviera by the sea


G                                                               D
Down here on the Redneck Riviera trawlin' up and down Mir-a-cle Mile
G                                                       D            G
Smoothin' out my tan and disposition and wearin' little other than a smile


On Highway 98 I got a ticket something I ain't never understood
If driving a convertible is topless why can't I ride my Harley in the nude
Down here on the Redneck Riviera sign says Smoking Mullet Here Today
I really don't know what I'm gettin' into but I'm in line to try some anyway


Redneck Riviera is where I wanna be down here on the Redneck Riviera by the sea


I got seven dollars for the jukebox twenty more left over for some beer
Down here on the Redneck Riviera there ain't no better living anywhere


Now here comes them dreadful possums
