Redneck Heart in DJ Mystery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He grew up where the backroad bends With a cooler in the bed and a few good friends Boots in the dust, sun on his face A red-dirt heart in a Gulf Coast place Then Tampa called and he took that ride Trading two-lane quiet for the city side But every mile and every new name Couldn’t change the country running through his veins [Pre-Chorus] From the workday grind to the Friday crowd He learned how to turn a room up loud [Chorus] DJ Mystery, Tampa’s own From carpet-cleaning callouts to the big-league zone Worked the decks, ran the doors, made the whole place move Built a life from the ground up with a country-boy groove Now he keeps the game-day people safe and sound Major-league lights, but his roots stay down He’s a city boy now, but you know what’s true: There’s a redneck heart in DJ Mystery too [Verse 2] He could clean a floor till it looked brand-new Then spin all night with a packed-room view Had a nightclub, had a strip-club sign Kept the folks coming back, kept the good times on time Every kind of hustle, every kind of scene He’s seen the wild side and the in-between Now he’s running security, steady and sharp With a radio close and a big, kind heart [Pre-Chorus] From the workday grind to the Friday crowd He learned how to turn a room up loud [Chorus] DJ Mystery, Tampa’s own From carpet-cleaning callouts to the big-league zone Worked the decks, ran the doors, made the whole place move Built a life from the ground up with a country-boy groove Now he keeps the game-day people safe and sound Major-league lights, but his roots stay down He’s a city boy now, but you know what’s true: There’s a redneck heart in DJ Mystery too [Bridge] He’s done the late nights, done the long days Made his own way through a thousand changes When the crowd rolls in and the home team takes the field That same small-town grit is the strength he brings to shield [Final Chorus] DJ Mystery, Tampa’s own From carpet-cleaning callouts to the big-league zone Worked the decks, ran the doors, made the whole place move Built a life from the ground up with a country-boy groove Now he keeps the game-day people safe and sound Major-league lights, but his roots stay down He’s a city boy now, and the whole world knew: There’s a redneck heart in DJ Mystery too [Outro] Tampa raised him, the backroads made him DJ Mystery—country heart, city-made him
