Tired of Being Johnny B. Good Hank Williams Jr.

[Verse 1]
I don't like instant ice tea
And I ain't crazy about dollar a gallon self-service gasoline
They nearly broke me with the high price of beef
And the funny thing is they think they're putting this over on me

[Verse 2]
I've always been an upstanding citizen
But I am getting fed up now, my friends
And if you don't understand what I've said
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good and I'm gonna be Johnny Reb

[Chorus 1]
Yeah, I'm gonna be Johnny Reb
'Cause I don't believe everything I've seen and read
And I work like hell just to keep a roof and a bed
I'm tired of being Johnny B Good and I'm gonna be Johnny Reb

[Verse 3]
This country's gettin' in a kinda bad shape
When the gasoline profits are up, up and away
And I can barely live on my take home pay
There's a whole lot of people that agree to what I say

[Verse 4]
Don't tell me to ride a bus and turn down my thermostat
When you're all runnin' around in jets and Cadillacs
I can't take this lying down, we gotta try and fight back 'till they believe what we said
We're tired of being Johnny B Good and we gotta be Johnny Rebs
