I ain't nothing but a simple man
[D] They call me a [A] redneck, I reckon that I am
But this thing's going on, make me mad [Em] down to [E] the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
[D] There's crooked politicians [F#] and crime in the street
[A] And I'm madder than hell and I [Em] ain't gonna take it no [E] more
I tell our kids, just say no
[D] And then some panty-waist judge lets a drug dealer [A] go
Slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back [E] out on the town
Well, if I had my way with people selling dope
[D] I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
[A] I'd hang them up a high-level swing till the [E] sun goes down
[Em] Well, [D] you know what's wrong with the world today
[E] People done gone put their Bibles [D] away
They're living by the [A] laws of jungle, not the [E] laws of land
[D] Well, the good books tell you so, I know it's the [E] truth
I pour an eye and a tooth for it
You better watch where you're [D] going, remember where you've [A] been
That's the way I see it, I'm a [E] simple man
Now, I'm the kind of man who wouldn't harm a mouse
But [D] if I catch somebody breaking in my house
I [A] got a 12-gauge shotgun waiting on the [E] other side
So don't go pushing me against my will
I [D] don't want to have to fight you for the darn show wheel
[A] If you don't want trouble, then you better just pass [E] me on by
As [Em]
[E] far as I'm concerned, there ain't no excuse
[D] For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
[A] I got a way to put an end to [E] all that mess
You just take them rascals out in the [Bm] swamp
Or put [D] them on their knees and tie them to a [A] stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators [E] do the rest
[D] Well, you know what's wrong with the world [E] today
People done gone put their bibles [D] away
They're living by the [A] laws of jungle, not the [E] laws of land
Well, [D] the good books tell you so, I know it's the [E] truth

You better watch where you're [D] going, remember where [A] you've been
That's the way I see it, I'm [E] a simple man
Watch where you're going, [D] remember where you've been
