Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother Lyrics
Spoken: This song was first by Ray Wylie Hubbard
Sung: He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz
He's not responsible for what he's doing
Cause his mother made him what he is.
And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack; "Goat ropers need love, too" sticker
And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
M is for the mud flaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.
Up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Kicking hippies asses and raising hell.
It's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

From what I've heard, Ray Wylie Hubbard wrote this one after an argument he had with some woman in a country bar; her son standing next to her, saying 'You want me to hit him, mama??'
It could apply to Tony Morris and Steve Leonard of The Saga of Darren Shan. Tony is an alcoholic and a bully who has older men get him alcoholic beverages. Steve Leonard has raised a lot of hell by doing things such as pointing sharp objects near babies. I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry read these books and used these characters as inspiration if he wrote it when the books first came out.
