The Charlie Daniels Band - Simple man

^GI ain't nothin' but a simple man They ^Fcall me a redneck I reckon that I am But there's ^Cthings going on That make me mad down to the ^Gcore.

There's ^Fcrooked politicians and crime in the street And I'm ^Cmadder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no ^Gmore. ^GWe tell our kids to just say no Then some ^Fpanty waist judge lets a drug dealer go ^CSlaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the ^Gtown. ^GNow if I had my way with people sellin' dope I'd take a ^Fbig tall tree and a short piece of rope I'd ^Chang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes ^Gdown Well, you ^Fknow what's wrong with the world today ^CPeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're ^Fliving by the law of the ^Cjungle not the law of the ^Gland ^FThe good book says it so I know it's the truth ^CAn eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better ^Gwatch where you go and ^Fremember where you been ^CThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple ^GMan. ^GNow I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse But if I ^Fcatch somebody breakin in my house I've got ^Ctwelve guage shotgun waiting on the other ^Gside ^GSo don't go pushing me against my will I don't ^Fwant to have to fight you but I dern sure will So^C if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on ^Gby ^GAs far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the ^Fraping and the killing and the child abuse And ^CI've got a way to put an end to all that ^Gmess ^GJust take them rascals out in the swamp ^FPut 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump Let the ^Crattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the ^Grest You ^Fknow what's wrong with the world today ^CPeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're ^Fliving by the law of the ^Cjungle not the law of the ^Gland T^Fhe Good Book says it so I know it's the truth ^CAn eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth ^GYou better watch where you go and ^Fremember where you been ^CThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple ^GMan
