Maryann had a black Trans Am,
when she drove it she sure looked good
it was a bad machine, and she kept it clean
like no man ever would
in my Ford F-10 that I had back then
I tried to catch her on the open road
I thought I was fast but she blew right past
so I turned around and went back home

I spent my youth chasing after pretty redneck girls

Bobby Joe bought a GTO
with no paint and it barely ran
but she sure looked good underneath that hood
with a torque wrench in her hand
she let me hold the light for her one night
and I thought that I was in
but she leaned too far and I stared too hard
and I never saw her again

I spent my youth chasing after pretty redneck girls

when I first saw Tracy driving that Pacer
I laughed until I cried
but she showed me at a hundred and three
and sure put a dent in my pride
at the next light she was waiting for me
pulled over to the side
she said "park that truck and hop on in
and you and me will go for a ride."

I spent my youth chasing after pretty redneck girls

ain't no Nova and it ain' no 'Vette
but I ain't seen nothing nicer yet
now I'm riding along enjoying the view
out the window on the passenger side

I spent my youth chasing after pretty redneck girls
I spent my youth chasing after pretty redneck girls
