It might be this one, 'cause the words change every time he sings it, especially the M-O-T-H-E-R part. The current bumper sticker of choice is "I'd rather step in shit than smoke it."

Redneck Mother - Jerry Jeff Walker version
Written by Ray Wylie Hubbard

He was born in Oklahoma,
His wife's name's Betty Lou Thelma Liz,
And he's not responsible for what he's doing,
'Cause his mother made him what he is.

Sure does like his Falstaff beer,
Likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor;
Drives a fifty-seven GMC pickup truck;
He's got a gun rack;
"Goat ropers need love, too" sticker,

Well,
M is for the mudflaps you give me for my pickup truck
O is for the Oil I put on my hair
T is for T-bird
H is for Haggard
E is for Eggs, and
R is for REDNECK.
