    • Verse 1
    I 

    ain't 
    nothin' 
    but a 
    simple 
    man, 

    they 
    call 
    me a 
    redneck 
    the 

    recker that I 
    am 

    but these 
    things 
    goin' 
    on 
    make me 

    mad 
    down 
    to 
    the core. 

    Gotta 
    work like 
    a 
    dog 
    to make 
    ends 
    meet, 

    with 
    those 
    cookin' 

    polititions and crime 
    in the streets, 

    I 
    moderned hell 
    and 
    I ain't 

    gonna 
    take 
    it no more. 

    Gotta 
    tell our 
    kids 
    to just 
    say 
    no, 

    and some 
    panny 
    waist 
    judge 

    let 
    a drug 
    dealer 
    go 

    slaps 
    him on the 
    wrist 
    and 
    turns 

    him back 
    onto 
    the town. 

    I had my 
    way 
    with people 
    selling 
    dope 

    but 
    take a 
    big 
    tall 
    tree 

    and a short 
    piece 
    of rope 

    and 
    hang 
    'em up 
    high 
    and let 'em 
    swing 

    'til the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down. 

    Verse 2
    You know what's 
    wrong 

    with the 
    world 
    today, 

    people 
    done 
    gone 
    put their 

    bibles 
    away 

    they're 
    livin' 
    by 
    law 
    of jungle 

    not the 
    law 
    of the land. 

    The 
    good book 
    says 
    so I 
    know 
    its the truth 

    an 
    eye 
    for 
    an eye 
    and a 
    tooth 

    for 
    a tooth 

    you've gotta 
    watch 
    where you're 
    goin', 

    re
    member 
    where you've 
    been, 

    that's 
    the way I 
    see 
    it I'm a 
    simple 
    man. 

    Verse 3

    I'm 
    the kind 
    of man 

    that wouldn't 
    hurt 
    a mouse, 

    but 
    if 
    I 
    catch 
    somebody 
    breakin' 
    in my 
    house, 


    I've gotta 
    12 gauge 
    shotgun 

    waiting 
    on the 
    other 
    side. 

    So 
    don't go 
    pushin 
    me 
    against 
    my 
    will, 


    I don't want 
    to have to 
    fight you 

    but I 
    darn 
    sure 
    will. 

    So if you 
    don't 
    want 
    trouble, 

    you better 
    just 
    pass 
    me on 
    by. 

    As 
    far 
    I know there 
    ain't 
    no 
    excuse 

    for the 
    rapin' 
    and the 
    killin' 

    and the 
    child 
    ab
    use 

    and 
    I've gotta 
    way 
    to 
    put an 

    end 
    to all 
    that mess. 

    You 
    take 
    them 
    rascals 
    out 
    in the 
    swamp, 

    put 
    em' on their 
    knees 
    and tie 

    em' 
    to a 
    stump 

    let the 
    raddlers and the 
    bugs 
    and the 

    alligators 
    do 
    the rest. 

    Verse 4
    You know what's 
    wrong 

    with the 
    world 
    today, 

    people 
    done 
    gone 
    put their 

    bibles 
    away 

    they're 
    livin' 
    by 
    law 
    of jungle 

    not the 
    law 
    of the land. 

    The 
    good book 
    says 
    so 
    I know 
    its the truth 

    a 
    eye 
    for 
    an eye 
    and 
    a tooth 

    for 
    a tooth 

    you've gotta 
    watch 
    where you're 
    goin' 

    re
    member 
    where you've 
    been, 

    that's 
    the way I 
    see 
    it I'm a 

    simple 
    man. 

    Verse 5
    You've gotta 
    watch 
    where you're 
    goin' 

    remember 
    where you've 
    been, 

    that's 
    the way I 
    see 
    it I'm a 
    simple 
    man.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
