"Upper Middle Class White Trash" is a song recorded by American country music artist Lee Brice. It was released in July 2008 alongside Four on the Floor as the third single from his EP, Picture of Me.

Critical reception

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song a mixed review, saying that "The writer of Garth Brooks’ #1 hit “More Than A Memory” sells himself a bit short going for honky-tonk humor above a song that dares to reveal society’s judgments on class. Three verses basically chronicle the “ah-ha!” value of Five Man Electrical Band/Tesla’s “Signs” and crutch the “white trash” banner as a reason to exploit the audience on this appealing, but predictable tune that was better on television four decades ago than as a rushed single in 2008."[1]
