We're scattered out
On rural routes everywhere
From California to
The Carolines
Flag wavin', Jesus prayin'
Mama lovin', don't care
Redneck, white shirt
Blue jean kind
Folks like us
Like to live a little
Honest, simple
Outside, small town
America
Dream chasin', beer drinkin'
Raise 'em up, if you're thinkin'
This ole' world ain't got enough
Boot wearin', God fearin'
Folks like us
With Folgers in a Thermos
At the door with a brown bag
Steel toes on the go
With the risin' sun
Even when the wind
Ain't at our backs
We don't quit, won't quit
'Till the job gets done
Folks like us
Like to live a little
Honest, simple
Outside, small town
America
Dream chasin', beer drinkin'
Raise 'em up, if you're thinkin'
This ole' world ain't got enough
Boot wearin', God fearin'
Folks like us
Come on, now
We hang out, just a little too much
Hey, the way it is now, ain't the way it was
A whole lot of real and a little less fake
Yeah, I guess that makes
Folks like us
Yeah, folks like us
Folks like us
Like to live a little
Honest, simple
Outside, small town
America
Dream chasin', beer drinkin'
Raise 'em up, if you're thinkin'
This ole' world ain't got enough
Boot wearin', God fearin'
Folks like us
No there just ain't enough
Folks like us
