What This World Needs Is A Few More Rednecks Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

[Chorus] 

What this world needs is a few more rednecks 

Some people ain't afraid to take a stand 

What this world needs is a little more respect 

For the Lord and the law and the workin' man 

We could use a little peace and satisfaction 

Some good people up front to take the lead 

A little less talk and a little more action 

And a few more rednecks is what we need 

I was raised on beans and cornbread 

And I like my chicken fried 

Yes, I drive a pickup truck 

And I'm full of American pride 

I keep a Bible on my table 

I got a flag out on my lawn 

And I don't believe in mindin' 

No one's business but my own 

And I love them Rambo movies 

I think they make a lot of sense 

And it's a shame ole John Wayne 

Didn't live to run for president 

[And I'm a catfish connoisseur 

And I love the Lynyrd Skynyrd band 

And I'm crazy about the NFL 

And I'm a diehard NASCAR Fan] 

And I don't care what nobody says 

I don't trust ole Gorbachev 

And I don't know who turned him on 

But it's time to turn him off 

[Chorus] 

Now they're tryin' to take my guns away 

And that would be just fine 

If you take 'em away from the criminals first 

I'll gladly give ya mine 

And I don't mind payin' taxes 

But it makes my temper itch 

When my hard earned money goes 

To make some politician rich 

What most people call a redneck 

Ain't nothin' but a workin' man 

And he makes his livin' 

By the sweat of his brow 

And the calluses on his hands 

Now you intellectuals may not like it 

But there ain't nothin' that you can do 

'Cause there's a whole lot more of us common-folks 

Then there ever will be of you 

[Chorus] 

That's what we need 

And a few more rednecks is what we need
