Simple Man (Album Version)-The Charlie Daniels Band

[00:24.24]I ain't nothin' but a simple man [00:27.50]They call me a redneck I reckon that I am [00:29.91]But there's things going on [00:32.10]That make me mad down to the core. [00:35.82]I have to work like a dog to make ends meet [00:39.26]There's crooked politicians and crime in the street [00:42.27]And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more. [00:48.36]We tell our kids to just say no [00:50.83]Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go [00:54.36]Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. [01:00.11]Now if I had my way with people sellin' **** [01:03.15]I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope [01:06.18]I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down [01:12.22]Well, you know what's wrong with the world today [01:15.44]People done gone and put their Bible's away [01:18.18]They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land [01:24.36]The good book says it so I know it's the truth [01:27.62]An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth [01:30.18]You better watch where you go and remember where you been [01:33.72]That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man. [01:42.12]Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse [01:44.80]But if I catch somebody breakin in my house [01:47.80]I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side [01:54.27]So don't go pushing me against my will [01:57.24]I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will [02:00.25]So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by [02:06.51]As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse [02:09.24]For the raping and the killing and the child abuse [02:12.59]And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess [02:18.37]Just take them rascals out in the swamp [02:21.50]Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump [02:24.47]Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest [02:30.34]You know what's wrong with the world today [02:33.86]People done gone and put their Bible's away [02:36.49]They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land [02:42.64]The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth [02:45.89]An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth [02:48.45]You better watch where you go and remember where you been [02:52.80]That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man
