The Charlie Daniels Band - Charlie Daniels Band- Simple Man lyrics
Your rating:
I ain't nothing but a simple man Call me a redneck, I reckon that I am But there's things going on that make me mad down to the core I have to work like a dog to make ends meet There's crooked politicians and crime in the street And I'm madder than hell and I ain't gonna take it no more We tell our kids to just say NO And then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go And he slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town Well, if I had my way with people selling dope I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope And hang em up high and let em swing till the sun goes down Chorus: Well you know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their Bibles away There livin by law of the jungle not the law of the land Well the good book says it, so I know it's the truth An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth You'd better watch where you go And remember where you've been That's the way I see it I'm a simple man Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse But if I catch somebody breaking in my house I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waiting on the other side So don't go pushing me against my will I don't want to have to fight you but I darn sure will So if you don't want trouble that you'd better just pass me on by As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the raping and the killing and the child abuse And I've got a way to put and end to all that mess You just take those rascals out in the swamp Put them on their knees and tie em to a stump And let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest Repeat Chorus
