Neck of These Woods

justyouraveragewriter

Dirt roads are home to me, 

I love kicking up dust. 

I get no traction on pavement, 

old backwoods are what I trust. 

If you come around these parts, 

even kids have a warning sign, 

If Papa is off working,

Mama carry conceals her nine. 

Even the kids know how to shoot, 

these dogs are fed for a reason. 

Don't come round here making noise 

when it's hunting season. 

If you wanna know your rights, 

look down the barrel of this gun. 

Watch out for your backside, 

the dogs bite where there ain't sun. 

We're friendly as can be

long as you don't ask for trouble. 

Sit down at the kitchen table,

I'll even pour ya a double. 

None of them fruity drinks, 

except some peach moonshine. 

If you can handle it there, son, 

well you just might be alright.
