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

Boy Howdy!
Might add a cigar...
As long as you keep it ICE cold PBR is tolerable.......anything over 39 degrees and your playin’ with fire 😏
Dang good thought. I might go back to the old school.
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.
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!
Who owns PBR now?
China?

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.
white sox were standard in high school in the 50s etc ...

Used to be in quart sized bottles for under a buck.
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...
Rate-a-beer give PBR a 1.9/5.0 rating.
