Gimme a river and a cypress tree   A day of good weather and I will be   As happy as a little green frog in the rain   Gimme a shell cracker on the line      Deep fried potatoes, and a homemade wine   And a woman to work it off later and cry my name   It don't take much, it don't take much   It don't take much to please, a redneck like me      Gimme a truck with four good tires   A cheap have a Tampa, and my desires   Will not exceed the limits of my means   I don't need no Porsche car      No pumped up music or a whacked out bar   No ghost white chicky, dressed up like a bad, black dream   It don't take much, it don't take much   It don't take much to please, a redneck like me      I have seen it all in my life   Running up and down the road in overdrive   But now the time has come to take it easy   It don't take much, it don't take much   It don't take much to please, a redneck like me   A redneck like me, a redneck like me
