Redneck is a historically derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the southern United States. It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks), and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).
In recent decades, the term has expanded its meaning to refer to bigoted, loutish reactionaries who are opposed to modern ways, and has often been used to attack Southern conservatives and racists. At the same time, some Southern whites have reclaimed the word, using it with pride and defiance as a self-identifier.
The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks".

Genres: Biography, Drama, History,Lest old acquaintance be forgot
I lost your number in the rush
Our friendship suffered with my success
The wind it blew me on
Now I've been sacrified to entertain
I went down smiling, it felt like pain
The wind it blew me on
The wind it blew me on
I'm just ice-cream
It's all rama rama
I'm just space dust
It's all rama rama
I'm just ice-cream
It's all rama rama
Thought I was high class
It's all rama rama
So self-important to this scheme
My tragic suffering
No more than a dream
I've got friends in higher places
Don't you recognize my faces
Millions want my auto-photograph
Critics want to write my epitath
I've got personal numberplates
I've got more money than Bill Gates
Run it, run it, run it back up to me
Life my life on TV
Run it, run it, run it back up to me
I'm what you want to
If I can't top this industry
My birthright feeling incomplete
I won't get sucked into this greed
Cos I sing love is all you need
