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