Lyrics
AW SHUCKS COUNTRY GUY

I got me a different kind of man,
Not hard to figure out, not hard to understand,
He loves me just for who I am.
He's a little bit shy, never heard him brag,
He's a home-cooked meal in a paper bag,
He hates politicians, but he loves the flag.
Chorus
He's a "Hey y'all!" sayin', guitar playin',
He'll look you in the eye.
He's a red neckin', bakker dippin',
Aw shucks country man.
His hair's shoved up underneath his hat,
Could lose a few pounds, but he ain't fat,
Drinking less beer could take care of that.
He's got manners and he shows respect,
He kissed my hand the first day we met,
I think my heart stopped, well let me check.
Repeat chorus
Bridge
It's the first time I've been in love 25 hours a day,
The butterflies I feel inside could carry us both away.
Repeat chorus
He's a red neckin', bakker dippin',
Aw shucks country man.
