Johnny Cash Junkie (Buck Owens Freak) Lyrics

I grew up on Waylon, Willie and the Stones
Soundtrack to my life is a hillbilly song
Old boys like Merle, that man in black
Said what they wanted, never looked back
I tear up to “Crying In Time”
Me and Johnny fight to walk the line

Chorus
I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

We got redneck women driving ATV’s
Wearing camo bikinis on CMT
I throw back a beer, I pledge allegiance to Hank
I’ll take a little less pop, a lot more twang
Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

Instrumental

Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

I grew up on Waylon, Willie and the Stones
Soundtrack to my life is a hillbilly song
Old boys like Merle, that man in black
Said what they wanted, never looked back
I tear up to “Crying In Time”
Me and Johnny fight to walk the line

Chorus
I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

We got redneck women driving ATV’s
Wearing camo bikinis on CMT
I throw back a beer, I pledge allegiance to Hank
I’ll take a little less pop, a lot more twang
Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

Instrumental

Three cords and some down-home soul
Some things never grow old

I still drive a pickup, I still wear boots
I grew up country, I’m proud of my roots
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I’m a Johnny Cash junkie and a Buck Owens freak

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
