What does "I'm a woodshuck in a mini-mansion" mean?

It might be "woodchuck", but it was written "woodshuck". I've tried searching for it, with no luck. It may be a hillbilly thing.

    A woodshuck is a buyer of felled wood, and a mini-mansion is a large house that is too small to be classified as a mansion.

    I think it is an idiomatic expression made by a backwoodsman (i.e., someone who grew up as a hillbilly), who once enjoyed a rustic lifestyle, but is now confined to voluminous, relatively sophisticated dwelling.

    It could also refer to a woodshuck who built his own home.
