Verse 1

E

I ain't nothin' but

a simple man

They

D

call me a redneck

I reckon that

I am

But there's

A

things going on

That make

me mad down

E

to the core.

I have to

work like a dog

to make ends

meet

There's

D

crooked politicians and

crime in the street

And I'm

A

madder'n hell

and I ain't gonna

take it no

E

more

We

tell our kids

to just say no

Then some

D

panty waist judge

lets a drug dealer

go

A

Slaps him on the

wrist and then

he turns him back

E

out on the town.

Now if I

had my way

with people sellin' dope

I'd take a

D

big tall tree

and a short

piece of rope

I'd

A

hang 'em up high

and let 'em

swing 'til the sun

goes

E

down

A

That's the way I

see it, I'm a

simple

E

man

Verse 3

Now

E

I'm the kinda man

that'd not

harm a mouse

But if I

D

catch somebody

breakin in my house

I've got a

A

twelve gauge shotgun

waiting on the

E

other side

So

don't go pushing me

against my will

I don't want

D

to have to

fight you but

I dern sure

will If you

A

don't want trouble

then you'd

better just pass me

on

Verse 4

As

E

far as I'm concerned

there ain't no

excuse

For the

D

raping and the killing

and the child

abuse

And

A

I've got a way

to put an

end to all

that

E

mess

You

just

Put 'em on their

'em to a stump

Let the

rattlers and the bugs

and the

alligators

E

do the rest
