Chris Housman - Blueneck Lyrics

Grew up with cornfields in every direction
That's where I learned all of my lessons
About life and living without fences
In the land of the free to have opinions

If you work a job, you oughta make a livin'
George Straight or George Gay, there's no difference
People need help and I think that we should listen
Three chords and my truth is

I'm a good ole boy with a bleeding heart
Just a homegrown hick with a hybrid car
I think y'all means all and I know we all
Just wanna know that we belong

There's a lot more color in the mix
When you're loud and proud out in the sticks
I am what I am, you get what you get
Yeah, I guess I'm a red state Blueneck

My American dream is wide open spaces
Plenty of room for us all to be safe in
Yeah, that's a future that I'm chasin'
So, I'm gonna go make it

I'm a good ole boy with a bleeding heart
Just a homegrown hick with a hybrid car
I think y'all means all and I know we all
Just wanna know that we belong

There's a lot more color in the mix
When you're loud and proud out in the sticks
I am what I am, you get what you get
Yeah, I guess I'm a red state Blueneck

Yeah, I'm a red state Blueneck

Can a country kid wanna see the glass ceiling shatter?
Wanna see a world where Black Lives Matter
Liberty and Justice for just some of us
Ain't how the heartland brought me up

I'm a good ole boy with a bleeding heart
Just a homegrown hick with a hybrid car
I think y'all means all and I know we all
Just wanna know that we belong

There's a lot more color in the mix
When you're loud and proud out in the sticks
I am what I am, you get what you get
Yeah, I guess I'm a red state Blueneck

Yeah-eh-eh, yeah
Yeah, I'm a red state Blueneck
Yeah-eh-eh, yeah
Yeah, I'm a red state Blueneck
