Rednecks, White Socks And Blue Ribbon Beer

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here With my red necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer

The bar-maid is mad 'cause some guy made a pass The juke box is play-in' there stands the glass And the cigarette smoke kind-a hangs in the air Rednecks, white socks and blue ribbon beer

A Cowboy is cursin' the pinball machine A drunk at the bar is get-tin' noisy and mean And, some guy on the phone says ill be home soon dear Red-necks white socks and blue ribbon beer

No we don't fit in with that white collar crowd We're a little too rowdy and a little too loud There's no place that I'd rather be than right here With my red-necks white socks and blue ribbon beer

The semis are passing on the highway outside The four thirty crowd is about to arrive The sun's go-in' down and we'll all soon be here Red-necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer

There's no place that I'd rather be than right here With my red-necks, white socks and blue ribbon beer

We can’t get PBR around here anymore. The suppliers have no reason for it other than they can’t get it. For some reason, that doesn’t smell right. Old Milwaukee has disappeared also. Plenty of Bud and Natural Light available though. LOL

Good one!, but a few issues
I’m former senior NCO, we did not have white sox
not standard uniform.
I earned a computer science degree and my boss’s boss called me “redneck”. Boeing engineer for a few years, y’all fly in my airplanes.
I’ve played basketball with guys wearing “cowboy” boots.
These sterotypes can be tiresome.

Nice jukebox country song from back in the day.

I can picture this playing in a 1970s Southern dive bar with sawdust on the floor and one of those mechanical bulls in the corner. Thanks for the memory jog!

Find a Costco and you’ll find PBR! The Redneck champagne! It’s my overall favorite all around beer.
Yeah, I like Guinness, and all sorts of other beers too.

This was the favorite beer of Gamewardens when the river patrol force operated in the Mekong Delta. Overall, these sailors had a one third chance of completing a year on the PBRs without injury, but one third were killed and a third injured. Here is their website.

"Rednecks, White Socks And Blue Ribbon Beer"

That was me back in the day - deep south, full head of long bushy hair popping out from under my hard hat, work boots with white socks and PBR tall-boys.

Of course, I'm much better now...

Great song. PBR used to be the redneck beer of choice. It’s cheap version was called Red, White and Blue.
PBR became the hipster beer a while back due to its cheap price in bars

PBR, a nice beer while enjoying a sandbar. I used to drink it while boating on the Connecticut River. My ex and I had a special location where we beached our boat and enjoyed PBR. Now, I drink Yuengling or local beers...
