"Boys 'Round Here" - Blake Shelton

A song that goes Red, red, red, red ... redneck has to be included on our list of the Most Redneck Country Songs Ever. Blake Shelton's 2013 jam represents the modern redneck — a man or woman whose tastes extend beyond the stereotype. It’s a hip-hop-infused jam that doesn’t grow old.

"Hicktown" - Jason Aldean

Jason Aldean's debut single helped make country roads and Pall Malls fashionable. The Georgia-born singer celebrates trucks, muddin', and White Rain hairspray on a Friday night. "Hicktown" is an infectious country-rock jam that’s practically built to be blasted well beyond an open tailgate.

"No Trash in My Trailer" - Colt Ford (Feat. George Jones)

George Jones brought instant credibility to Colt Ford’s first single, "No Trash in My Trailer." The country legend provided the chorus and co-starred in the music video for a song about kicking a no-good woman out because she won’t accept the redneck (Ford) for who he is. The catchy chorus emphasizes pride in one’s lifestyle and choices.

"High-Tech Redneck" - George Jones

Jones recorded his own redneck song 15 years before cutting the duet with Ford. "High-Tech Redneck" is the title track of Jones' 1993 album. It’s comical to listen to what he’s calling "high-tech" more than 20 years later, but the spirit of the song is understood.

"Country Boy" - Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson wrote and recorded a number of hits that could be called redneck songs, but his No. 1 from 2009 stands above the rest. The tune is about picking a girl up for a little fun in the country, and the truck and dirt roads actually star more prominently than the beauty in the passenger seat. Jackson's smooth voice makes this song timeless.

"Country Boy Song" - Earl Dibbles Jr.

Barbed wire tattoo? Check. Overalls? You betcha. "I’m a redneck / I’m white trash," Granger Smith — err, Earl Dibbles Jr. — proclaims in "Country Boy Song." Dip in your lip? Got that too. This one’s an anthem for rednecks everywhere.

"Redneck Yacht Club" - Craig Morgan

Craig Morgan’s 2005 hit was embraced by many who don’t typically turn to country music for inspiration. The track paints a picture many Americans can relate to: "Side by side, there’s five houseboat front porches / AstroTurf, lawn chairs and tiki torches." There’s not a summertime lake to be found that doesn’t include a similar scene.

"Sweet Home Alabama" - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s "Sweet Home Alabama" wasn’t a redneck song when it was released in 1974, but over the years it has come to symbolize rednecks nationwide. The all-time classic is more of a celebration of Alabama and the south in general, but the spirit of Ronnie Van Zant’s lyrics will forever inspire millions of country music fans to crack open a cold beer and raise it to being free.

"Redneck Woman" - Gretchen Wilson

Gretchen Wilson went from an unknown former bartender from Illinois to a country superstar in less than two months after "Redneck Woman" was released in 2004. There hasn’t been another song that let country fans, especially female fans, know there’s not a thing wrong with buying your lingerie at Walmart and swiggin’ beer like the boys.

"A Country Boy Can Survive" - Hank Williams Jr.

Hank Williams Jr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive" may forever be the ultimate redneck anthem. Few have as much natural attitude as Bocephus, and no other song showcases that grit with so much pride. This track truly encapsulates the spirit of resilience and self-sufficiency that defines redneck culture.
