Morgan Wallen Digs Into Country-City Tensions on ‘Come Back as a Redneck’ Song Preview
Morgan Wallen previews "Come Back as a Redneck" song.
On last weekend’s Saturday Night Live, Morgan Wallen — guesting on the show for the first time since 2020 — performed songs from his upcoming album I’m The Problem, but also sparked controversy for his early exit from the SNL stage. The song’s lyrics take a musical shot at tensions between city dwellers and those raised in the country, with Wallen singing, “I didn’t choose my raisin’ and you didn’t choose yours,” and elsewhere singing, “When you die, I hope you come back as a redneck…I hope you break your back for that barely-gettin’-by paycheck…maybe then you’ll understand.” The video shows Wallen partaking in various outdoor activities, including some target practice with a rifle at an outdoor shooting range and driving deep into the woods on a four-wheeler. On the March 29 episode of Saturday Night Live, Wallen sang the title track of his upcoming album, I’m the Problem(due May 16), as well as a new song, “Just in Case.”
