Drop a little hip-hop in the boombox, but still
Em
You can't hide red, don'?t you know we were born this way?
C
You can't hide red, you can see it in everything, yeah
Em
Like the way we walk, the way we talk, it's the down home way we raised
C
Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
Em
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
C
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank

You might catch us holding doors saying grace and "Thank you Lord
C
For the good times and the good iife we all live, Amen"
