Verse 1
F 
Dm 
I
ain't nothin' but a simple man,
C 
they call me a redneck the
recker that I am
G 
but these things goin' on make me
Dm 
mad down to the core.
Gotta work like a dog to make ends meet,
C 
with those cookin'
polititions and crime in the streets,
G 
I moderned hell and I ain't
gonna take it no more.
Dm 
Gotta tell our kids to just say no,
C 
and some panny waist judge
G 
let a drug dealer go
slaps him on the wrist and turns
Dm 
him back onto the town.
I had my way with people selling dope
C 
but take a big tall tree
and a short piece of rope
G 
and hang 'em up high and let 'em swing
Dm 
'til the sun goes down.

Verse 2
Dm 
You know what's wrong
with the world today,
C 
people done gone put their
G 
bibles away
they're livin' by law of jungle
Dm 
not the law of the land.
The good book says so I know its the truth
C 
an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth
Dm 
you've gotta watch where you're goin',
C 
remember where you've been,
G 
Dm 
that's the way I see it I'm a simple man.

Verse 3
Dm 
I'm the kind of man
that wouldn't hurt a mouse,
C 
but if I catch somebody breakin' in my house,
G 
I've gotta 12 gauge shotgun
Dm 
waiting on the other side.
So don't go pushin me against my will,
C 
I don't want to have to fight you
G 
but I darn sure will.
So if you don't want trouble,
Dm 
you better just pass me on by.
As far I know there ain't no excuse
C 
for the rapin' and the killin'
G 
and the child abuse
and I've gotta way to put an
Dm 
end to all that mess.
You take them rascals out in the swamp,
C 
put em' on their knees and tie
G 
em' to a stump
let the raddlers and the bugs and the
Dm 
alligators do the rest.

Verse 4
Dm 
You know what's wrong
with the world today,
C 
people done gone put their
bibles away
G 
they're livin' by law of jungle
Dm 
not the law of the land.
D 
The good book says so I know its the truth
C 
a eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth
Dm 
you've gotta watch where you're goin'
C 
remember where you've been,
G 
that's the way I see it I'm a
Dm 
simple man.
