Simple Man

Simple Man performed by Charlie Daniels Band transcribed by Phillip Taylor call me a redneck, I reckon that I am. But there's core. I have to work like a dog to make ends meet. There's crooked politicians and crime in the street and I'm 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 big tall tree and a short piece of rope, and down. chorus. Well you People done gone and put their Bibles away, There jungle not the low of the eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You'd better watch where you go and remember where you've been, man. Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse, but if I catch somebody breakin' in my house, I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side. So don't go pushin' me against my will, I don't want to have to fight you but I durn 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 aint 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. chorus.
