Verse 1(rapped)
I’ve got long hair and a big ol’ beard,
And I’m crazy as can be.
So don’t you dare come around here,
Startin’ no trouble with me.
I love the Lord and the American flag,
Ain’t got no use for communist trash.
Just let me live in my own space,
Or I’ll put your nose on the side of your face.
Verse 2(rapped)
Got two old dogs that’ll sound the alarm,
They don’t much care for strangers.
Loaded twelve-gauge by my back door,
For unexpected dangers.
My boat’s tied down, poles in the truck,
Deer stand up on the hill.
I work all week, at church on Sunday,
And I say exactly what I feel.
Pre-Chorus(spoken)
I ain’t lookin’ for a fight,
But I ain’t one to run.
If you bring one to my front porch,
You might not like… how it’s done.
Chorus(sung)
I’m just a backwoods son of freedom,
Red, white and blue runs through my veins.
I’d rather be out on the water,
Than hearin’ somebody complain.
Leave me alone and we’ll get along,
Shake my hand, let’s drink a beer.
But if you come lookin’ for trouble,
You’ll find plenty waitin’ here.
[fiddle solo]
Verse 3(rapped)
Sun comes up, coffee’s strong,
Got an old dirt road to roam.
Fish are bitin’, wood needs split,
Ain’t no place I’d rather call home.
I’ll help my neighbor, lend a hand,
If your tractor breaks down.
But don’t mistake this country kindness
For somebody you can push around.
Bridge(sung)
Fishin’ line in the water, boots in the mud,
Eagles flyin’ overhead.
Thankin’ God for the life I’ve got,
In every prayer I’ve ever said.
Don’t mistake kindness for weakness,
Or my silence for fear.
I love my family, God, and country—
That’s how we do it here.
Final Chorus(sung)
I’m just a backwoods son of freedom,
Red, white and blue runs through my veins.
I’d rather be out on the water,
Than hearin’ somebody complain.
Leave me alone and we’ll get along,
Shake my hand, let’s drink a beer.
But if you come lookin’ for trouble,
You’ll find plenty waitin’ here.
Outro (Spoken with attitude)
Yeah… I ain’t tellin’ nobody how to live their life.
So don’t come tellin’ me how to live mine.
Love God… love your family… love your country…
Respect my space… and we’ll get along just fine.
