Jamey Johnson's song "Redneck Side Of Me" is about embracing one's inner redneck despite not having grown up in typical redneck experiences like cutting tobacco or hunting gators. The narrator acknowledges that although he may not have lived through these experiences, he still loves to smoke and drink, and the one thing that brings out his redneck side is playing music. The narrator wants to be set free on stage with his guitar and surrounded by his fellow rednecks in a honky tonk bar. He wants to sing all night and raise hell with his music, and in doing so, he will show his true redneck side. The song does not have a deep story behind it but is an ode to the redneck culture and lifestyle. It celebrates the idea that being a redneck is not defined by where you come from or what you've done, but rather by a shared love of certain things, like music, drinking, and having a good time.
