The Charlie Daniels B – Simple Man Album Version Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 28 Second

Were gonna do a song for you right now
That was a title song off of an album
That we did some time ago
And when that song first came out
I got some flack for doing this tune
I got called some names
I dont care

I aint nothin but a simple man
They call me a redneck, I reckon that I am
But theres things going on
Make me mad down to the core

I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
And theres crooked politicians and crime in the street
And Im maddern hell
And I aint gon take it no more

We tell our kids to just say, No
Then some pantywaist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist
And turns him back out on the town

If I had my way with people sellin dope
Id take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
Id hang em up high and let em swing
Til the sun goes down

And you know whats wrong with the world today?
People done gone put their Bibles away
And theyre living by the law of the jungle
Not the law of the land
And the Good Book says it, so I know its the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you goin
Remember where you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man

Im the kinda man wouldnt harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
Got twelve gauge shotgun a-waitin on the other side

So dont go pushing me against my will
I dont want to have to fight you, but I darn sure will
You dont want trouble
Then youd better just pass me on by

As far as Im concerned, there aint no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And Ive got a way to put an end to all of that mess

You just take them rascals out in the swamp
You put em on their knees and tie em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

And you know whats wrong with the world today?
People done gone put their Bibles away
And theyre living by the law of the jungle
Not the law of the land
And the Good Book says it, so I know its the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you goin
Remember who you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man

Better watch where you go
And remember where you been
Thats the way I see it, Im a simple man

Thank you
Thank you kindly
Were gonna do a song for you right now
Off of a new album we released a few weeks ago
Called Road Dogs
