I ain't nothing but a simple man [A] They call me a redneck, I reckon that I am
But this thing's going on, it's got me down to [E] the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet [D] There's crooked politicians and crime in the
street [A] And I'm madder than hell and I ain't gonna
[E] take it no more Until our kids just say no
[D] And then some panty-waist judge lets a drug dealer [A] go
Stabs 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 high and let them swing till the [E] sun goes down
[D] Well, you know what's wrong with the world today?
[E] People done gone put their bibles [D] away They're living by the [A] law of the jungle
Not the [E] law of the land [D] Well, the good book says it's all I know
It's the [E] truth I pour an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you're going Remember where you've [A] been
That's the way I see it, I'm a 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, Will [A] If you don't want trouble
Then you better just pass [E] me on As 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 mad
You just take them rascals down in the [D] swamp I'll put [A] them on their knees and tie them to 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] law of the jungle
Not the [E] law of the land [D] Well, the good book says it's all I know
It's the [E] truth I pour an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you're going Remember where you've [A] been
That's the way I see it I'm a simple man
Watch where you're going [D] Remember where you've been
