I used to think my life was charmed
That I'd got all that I need
A job and money, a place to call home
But most of all the girl of my dreams
She said I was the only good ole boy
Who could light her fire
But I should have seen she had roving eye
Her sights were set a little higher
This boy came into our life one day
A handyman was his grade
We had logs to cut, and shingles to fix
And he didn't charge much for his trade
But he had the tongue of the Devil
I know that now to my cost
She must have been bored
Cause she fell for his words
In that moment my love was lost
Well he ain't smart and he ain't handsome
And he don't have a buck to his name
He likes to drink the night away
Maybe gets into a fight
But somehow he took my wife
And somehow he wrecked my life
But I'll tell you straight
There'll be one less redneck
In this town for her to love tonight
I'm gonna find him
I'm gonna take him down
I'm gonna lay him him out
For messing with my wife
And you can bet your life
That when I've done with him
He'll rue the day that he came into our life
Well he ain't smart and he ain't handsome
And he don't have a buck to his name
He likes to drink the night away
Maybe gets into a fight
But somehow he took my wife
And somehow he wrecked my life
But I'll tell you straight
There'll be one less redneck
In this town for her to love tonight
For her to love tonight
For her to love tonight
