Singer/songwriter Michael Hardy was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi on September 13, 1990 and adopted the stage name HARDY, The Philadelphia, MS, native took it back to his roots for the clip, showcasing what it means to hold the title “king of the rednecks” – mudding and mattress surfing behind his jacked up 4×4, shooting catfish out of a lake and paintballs at friends, shotgunning Busch Lights, and putting “a little more spit in (his) chaw,” contest style. The music video was directed by Justin Clough and the video was shot on a farm in Cottontown, TN, The video features familiar faces, including some of HARDY’s songwriting pals Brett Tyler, Joe Clemmons and Benjy Davis. The rowdy group cut loose on the acreage, and proved once and for all that redneck isn’t just a word – it’s a lifestyle.

With its catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, and unfiltered attitude, “Rednecker” celebrates the proud traditions and unbreakable spirit of the redneck community. Hardy’s lyrics resonate with those who proudly identify as rednecks, as he highlights elements such as hunting, fishing, working hard, and having a good time.

Hardy Rednecker Lyrics
So you think you’ve got some county line cred
Cause you rode a dirt road or two
You got a mossy oak hat on top of your head
And a southern pride tattoo
Yeah you might a drank a little grain alcohol
Or hauled a little hay but if you think your boots
Got more dirt than mine I got one thing to say
My town’s smaller than your town
And i got a bigger buck and bass on my wall
Got a little more kick in my drawl
Y’all i got little more spit in my chaw
My truck’s louder than your truck
And my collar’s a little more blue
You might think that you’re redneck
But I’m rednecker than you
Yes I am
I got a car parked in my front yard
With a floorboard full of slim jeans
I piss where i want to
And i fish Where i swim yeah
I bet you you ain’t got it on a tailgate
Or killed a copperhead a time or two
Man if you’re thinking you’re a better
Beer drinker buddy I’ve got news for you
My town’s smaller than your town
And O got a bigger buck and bass on my wall
Got a little more kick in my drawl
Y’all I got little more spit in my chaw
My truck’s louder than your truck
And my tick hound’s a little more blue
You might think that you’re redneck
But I’m rednecker than you
I’m rednecker than you
Yeah I’m down with the sound
Of a dixie whistle raising hell
Praising dale twelve in at bristol
More sweat on my brow
At the end of the day
So needless to say
My town’s smaller than your town
And I got a bigger buck & bass on my wall
And I ain’t tryin’ to talk no smack
It’s just the facts y’all
My truck’s louder than your truck
And my red white’s a little more blue
You might think that you’re redneck
But I’m rednecker than you
I’m rednecker than you
