I’m a born and raised New York City kid
Watching Yankee games like my daddy did
And my politics - well I Guess they had a streak of blue
I used to put on a suit and catch a Broadway show
Hanging out with the liberals is where I’d go
And to get our kicks - we’d smoke a little joint or two
And then my boss he said listen up you see
We’re moving all the jobs down to Tennessee
So my wife and I we said - what the fuck!
So we sold the house loaded up the truck
Kissed our friends good-bye and they wished us luck
We bid the Apple fond adieu
And now...
I’m wearing Cowboy hats
Getting Jesus tats
Joined my local chapter of the N-R-A
Traded my Prius for a G-M-C
Cancel my MS-N-B-C
Got a brand new dog yes he’s mean and smelly
He’s a nasty mongrel and his name’s Benelli
Eatin grits and gravy with some bar-be-que
Bought an AR-15 ‘cause it’s what you do
Down in Tennessee
Where I’m living free
I’m watching Fox and Friends and the Hannity show
Turning off Rachel Maddow cause she just don’t know
And the fake news family at CNN
Where the crazy witch hunt just will never end
Got a double-wide it sits out back
Yes my off-road beauty has a shotgun rack
I take it easy on the good Lord's day
'Cause I'm a country boy and I'm here to stay
Down in Tennessee
Where I’m living free
I'm drinkin' rocks and Whiskey from a mason jar
On my back porch shootin' at the northern star
Eatin' lunch at Denny's wearin' cammo gear
The Grand Ole Opry's what' I'm gonna hear
I don't eat no Quinoa or that broccoli rabe
To my friends up north I’m a redneck slob
But there ain't no logic in the things they say
And I'm just so glad I finally got away
Down to Tennessee
It's a sight to see
Wearing Cowboy hats
Getting Jesus tats
Joined my local chapter of the N-R-A
Traded my Prius for a G-M-C
Cancel my MS-N-B-C
Got a brand new dog yes he’s mean and smelly
He’s a nasty mongrel and his name’s Benelli
Eatin grits and gravy with some bar-be-que
Bought an AR-15 ‘cause it’s what you do
Here in Tennessee...
Where I'm Livin' Free!!!
