Don’t Trust Kristi Noem

Verse 1 (bright guitar + steady beat)

Out on the prairie with a book in her hand,

Talks like a cowgirl, but it don’t sound grand.

Wrote about the dog and the goat she shot,

Called it “mercy,” but mercy it was not.

Pre-Chorus (builds with fiddle & harmonies)

Red-lip smile on a TV screen,

But the truth cuts sharper than it seems.

Chorus (big, bold, sassy)

Don’t trust Kristi Noem with a leash or a gun,

She’ll say it’s mercy when the deed is done.

Talks tough, but the cracks still show,

It’s the Kristi Noem show.

Verse 2 (playful, poppy twang)

Waves that flag in a rhinestone shine,

Says she’s honest, but the facts don’t line.

Big red stage, boots polished bright,

But the story tilts when you read it right.

Pre-Chorus

Headlines spin, but the past don’t fade,

Hard to hide the choices that you made.

Chorus

Don’t trust Kristi Noem with a leash or a gun,

She’ll call it mercy when the deed is done.

Smile so sweet, but the crowd all knows,

It’s the Kristi Noem show.

Bridge (spoken-sung, sassy attitude)

“Well honey, if power’s just pullin’ a trigger,

Maybe that heart should be a little bigger.

You can sell your story in black and white,

But the truth comes out in the neon light.”

Final Chorus (anthemic, full band with harmonies)

Don’t trust Kristi Noem when she plays so bold,

Country strong with a heart gone cold.

Glitter boots and a tale to throw,

It’s the Kristi Noem show.
