[Verse 1]
Em
 You can trade that pickup for a brand new Cadillac
 D       C
Slap you on that custom Gucci suit and ditch that camo hat
D       Em
You can move from the boondocks to Beverly Hills
D             C
Drop a little hip-hop in the boombox, but still


[Chorus]
               Em
You can't hide red, don't you know we were born this way?
          D    C                                    D
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
D       C
  Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
    C     D    Em
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
          D    C
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank
          D
You can't hide red


[Verse 2]
          Em
You might catch us holding doors saying grace and "Thank you Lord
D       C                                               D
For the good times and the good iife we all live, Amen"
   Em
So what if we all backwards just because you talkin' faster?
  D       C
Hell, you ain't got no tobacco in your lip


[Chorus]
    C     D    Em
You can't hide red, don't you know we were born this way?
          D    C                                    D
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
D       C
  Don't ever wanna, ain't ever gonna change
    C     D    Em
You can't hide red, with that twang, we sang
          D    C
You can't hide red, and we smoke, and we drank
    C     D
You can't hide red
