Guns and Dope

mud on my boots, pistol in my jeans

bible in the dash but the liquor in between

mama told me boy, you better watch them friends

‘cause in the south the love’ll kill you quicker than the pen

cornfields echo with them shotgun sounds

city boy dreams in a broke-down town

streetlights flicker where the hustlers meet

we ain’t hollywood rich, but the iron keep the peace

pawn shop chrome, bought it cash on a prayer

.45 tucked where the cops don’t stare

country trap life, mix the blues with the beat

where the ghetto and the dirt roads finally meet

stories in the shells, ain’t no fairy tales

just a porch light swingin’ and a county jail

from mobile bay to them dirt road signs

we carry iron heavy, but the soul still shines

Mobile to magnolia springs bonsecour to Pensacola summer sale lovely everybody

this place raise me hurt me caged me/

let me fly away and I came right back I must be crazy/

don’t listen to the talk look’em in they eyes/

if they say love ya then they probably lying/

keep your pistol ready keep your ear to the steeet/

if the light ain’t on they gone Kill you or they asleep/ raised with nikkas named kume bear and pat Lu/ playing spades, smoking on dro, and drinking brew/ souther hospitality, think it’s sweet/ till one of the cornbread fed bubbas know out your teeth/ this been my whole life goals and dreams/ everytime I think about all I can say is what I’ve seen/ betcha my last dollar on good cock fight/ that the boy round here won’t sleep tonight/ country how was raised and country how I was born/ the guns and the dope are the reason I’m torn/ might talk slow but move fast in the streets/ and the keepers and the creepers all know about me/

this is the south, we got smoke you got flame

born in a creek, with pistol game

raised real fast, real fast indeed

and the jeepers and the creepers all know where i be

raised real fast, running these streets / and the jeepers and the creepers all know where i be

from bay to the dirt roads, the story repeats

i guess drugs and guns / are gonna get done even if it ain’t me
