TRICK PONY LYRICS - Hillbilly Rich

"Hillbilly Rich"



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.

Boon doggy.
