(What This World Needs Is) A Few More Rednecks - The Charlie Daniels Band

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 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

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

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 you 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

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

That’s what we need and a few more rednecks is what we need
