Lyrics

Written by ira dean and anthony smith

Here's a story 'bout the under-dog
One dollar, five digits an a piebald
A hundred million bucks ridin' on that ticket
Here's what happens when a redneck hits it
Kick it!

He jumped up an' he tore off his texaco shirt
He didn't give a notice, just walked off work
Ran straight to the bank to collect his money:
Says: "I'll take it in cash an' nothin' bigger than a twenty."

Now the kinfolks say: "man, it don't make sense
"He's still livin' with his mamma but he won't pay rent
"He got a high definition television in his trailer
"He's rigs in the trunk for stealin' cable from his neighbour."
Oh yeah

Well, he's hillbilly rich
Hillbilly rich
Just a poor boy livin' out in the sticks
Well, look at him now, he's hillbilly rich

Now the farmer scracthed his head an' said: "you must be kiddin'."
When his tractor's standin' still but the revs a-keep a-spinnin'
He got the front end bouncin' from the air-suspension
A few tees in the bags in case he once a-wants fishin'

That's hillbilly rich
Hillbilly rich
Just a poor boy livin' out in the sticks
Well, look at him now, man, he's hillbilly rich

Instrumental break
(So, yeah.)

Well, he's hillbilly rich
Hillbilly rich
Just a poor boy livin' out in the sticks
Well, look at him now, man he's hillbilly rich

Hillbilly rich
Hillbilly rich
That boy's hillbilly rich
Hillbilly

Did I mention, dune dogs, shotguns, an' tree stands
I wanna shoot something
