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






[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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 ya 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

[Chorus]

That's what we need
And a few more rednecks is what we need

  1. z.... ....

    I hate it and love it at the same time

  2. D.... G....

    Anyone think this song has just as much importance and relivene as ever? This song is timeless and the lord law and working man could all use a little more these days!

  3. C.... A....

    We’re almost ready to take our stand sir. Just need a leader desperately!

  4. R.... G....

    I stay'd this o' law,luck might get push'd abit ?Thems gotta's,cop's move slower than molasses when them hoodleheads mess with Mr.Dave,thinkin' have to a bullet for 'em!

  5. P.... O....

    Just came here from a video of people in diesel pickup trucks rolling coal over antifa protests and I thought of this song.

  6. N.... T....

    Legend says if you play this on a speaker in public, You will summon hundreds of antifa members.

  7. W.... L....

  11. h.... ....

    too bad about the part where he talks about handing in guns. 2nd amendment isn't just for defending against criminals Mr. Daniels.

  12. R.... R....

    I swear on my life. I will run for Gov. I will make this my anthem. God bless Texas, god bless America. Daniel's says it like it should be.

  13. M.... B....

    Yeeeeeeeeehaaaaahh!!!

  14. J.... K....

    Great song...
    I wish more people including Google and YouTube would listen to this..
    Nope out to make money just like every politician and our president himself Donald J chump..
    Boycott any video that has an ad attached to make money..
    Go outside,, play a video game,,, watch a movie at home,,,
    We pay for the phone plans,,, we pay for our phones,, why do we have to sit and watch b******* commercials,,

  15. I.... ....

    How does this have a single dislike

  20. G.... C....

    This kinda song brings in the good people, one thing I really enjoy. Can we all agree?

  21. b.... m....

    A Bible on my Table
    And
    A flag out on my lawn
    (Isn't that a contradiction of beliefs?)

    Have no idol images before your Heavenly Father. Pledge allegiance to the Almighty Creator who can answer your prayers and not some idol image that cannot answer your prayers.

  22. M.... 9....

    Been listening to this for years. As good as it was the first time every time. If more people heard it. I think it would change our scum bag filled society. He is speaking truthfully and factually.

    The sad part is, with the way things are, and despite my Hispanic heritage, i completely relate and agree with the song. We do need more respect for the Lord, the Law and the Working Man. And while i don't drive a pickup, I too am full of American pride.

  69. D.... N....

    God NRA and America for life!

    D.... N....

    Amen to that prize the lord and pass the ammunition

  70. E.... ....

    “… you intellectuals may not like it.” You mean people who have desire for knowledge and love learning? Yeah, those of the people we need to get rid of. What a fucking idiot.

    E.... ....

    drunkNpublic
    No, I completely understand understand The point he’s trying to make; which is utterly ironic considering being pompous and holding himself above others is exactly what he’s doing. The point is that he doesn’t quite understand what the word intellectual means if that’s what he’s trying to convey. It really adds to the overall irony of his statement too

    E.... ....

    the way he said "intellectuals" means a lot...hes not talking about educated people. i still think you are reading everything this song is trying to say a bit wrong mostly because you just plain dont like it..which is fine. was just offering another perspective yaknow..either way i agree with it myself and you dont have to and well...if everyone had the same damn opinions on everything this world would never have got itself out of the stone age.

    got to push eachother to one up one another sometimes as long as at the end of the day you realize we all have the same goal (well at least anyone thats not batshit crazy) 1. to live in peace 2. take care of our family and friends. 3. enjoy the time we have here on this mudball..........everything else is just kinda a means to get those

    E.... ....

    drunkNpublic
    I owned this record when it came out, I was pretty young. I loved it then, but now that I’m a grown-up I see how silly it is lyrically. Again, I know exactly what he is trying to say, I know the point he’s trying to make. It’s just that’s not what the word intellectual means, and that’s why it’s ironic. Do you get that; do you understand what those words mean? I’m not sure you are picking up on the irony of it all.

  71. F.... ....

    This should be the southern anthem

  72. B.... H....

    If ya ever get a chance to see this guy live it is worth the money he sounds the same live as he does in the studio I will be seeing him again at the West Virginia state fair

    B.... H....

    Bobby Harris Seen him twice down with Tritt and Trace Adkins . One of the best performers I've seen and I've a bunch of them! 😎

  73. W.... S....

    This is uneducated, toothless, trailer trash grunting, as if ignorance and poverty were something to be proud of.
    I'm sure the Neanderthals had similar songs as the Cro-magnons were killing them off..

  74. A.... A....

    Hell yeah,people with some damn backbone the real Americans who tell it like it is

  75. K.... F....

    We need a few more Charlie Daniels too. 🇺🇸

  76. A.... H....

    Great Singer and the truth !!!

  77. J.... S....

    I'd vote for Charlie Daniel in a hurry president Charlie Daniel

  81. E.... T....

    What this world needs is to stand for there heritage not hate..mind there own business...if liberals don't like it ..oh well

  82. H.... D....

    Very nice !

  83. M.... A....

    He’s not afraid to speak his mind about Christianity or politics. You have to respect a musician that is a conservative. Not many musicians are politically conservatives and patriotic like Charlie Daniels. My hats off to this man!

    M.... A....

    This was made a long time ago, it was more okay to make a song like this. But I do agree.

  84. J.... J....

    Little less talk and lot more actions what this country needs..

  85. J.... H....

    Glad to say going into 2018 with this song

  86. D.... G....

    yeeeeehaaaaaaa !!!!

  87. A.... C....

    I don’t think anyone could’ve said this any better💯👍🏼🇺🇸

  88. J.... T....

    A true. American song n today there ant to many people left that have any respect. For themselves or the Older Generation n for one the Lord the Law n the Workn man. 👷💪

  89. T.... S....

    yeah I still won't give you my guns

  90. T.... S....

    the nfl sucks now

  91. N.... R....

    I Agree!

  92. R.... S....

  93. G.... D....
