Karaoké Simple Man The Charlie Daniels Band

I ain't nothin' but a simple man

They call me a redneck

I reckon that I am

But there's things goin' 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

Just say no

And then some panty-waist judge lets a drug dealer go

Slaps him on the wrist and he turns him back out on the town

But if I had my way with people sellin' dope

Take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope

I'd hang 'em up high and let them swing 'till the sun goes down

Well you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone and put their Bibles away

They're livin' by the 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 better watch where you go and remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man

Now I'm the kinda man who wouldn't harm a mouse

But if I catch somebody breakin' in my house

I got 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 dern sure will

If you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by

As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse

For the rapin' and the killin' and the child abuse

But I've got a way to put an end to all that fast

You just take them rascals out in the swamp

Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump

Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

Well you know what's wrong with the world today

People done gone and put their Bibles away

They're livin' by the 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 better watch where you go and remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man

Watch where you go and remember where you been

That's the way I see it

I'm a simple man
