Billy Joe McAlester junior showed up at the reunion 

Clean cut shaved decked out in Armani's best 

In perfect spoken english 

he said now days I go by William 

And he talked about his new life 

and money he'd made out West 

And he tried his hardest not to be 

that old boy we all new 

Til he pulled out that Earnhardt wallet 

on that chain hooked to his belt loop 



You can't hide redneck beneath a three piece suit 

No starched white collar is gonna keep it 

from bleeding through 

You might as well forget it 

it's gonna find it's way out 

You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud 



Well the last we all seen of Sandy 

she'd moved up to Boston 

Law school paid off made her a Federal judge 

Scotty had to go and ask her 

if she still hates John since she lost him 

She said 'John who, 

oh yeah no I don't hold a grudge' 

And her honor stayed as professional 

as long as she could 

As the time went on she lit into John 

just like we all knew she would 



You can't hide redneck behind a big old job 

A big old cherry wood desk sure ain't no camoflage 

You might as well forget it 

it's gonna find it's way out 

You can't hide redneck 



You can't hide redneck 

In a big old grouch 

You're gonna blow our cover 

can't keep us from getting loud 



You might as well forget it 

it's gonna find it's way out 

You can't hide redneck you might as well be proud 



Might as well be proud
