Simple Man Lyrics Artist(Band):The Charlie Daniels Band
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am But there's things going on That make me mad down to the core. I have to work like a dog to make ends meet There's crooked politicians and crime in the street And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more. We tell our kids to just say no Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town. Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down Well, you know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land The good book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man. Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouse But if I catch somebody breakin in my house I've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other side So don't go pushing me against my will I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse For the raping and the killing and the child abuse And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess Just take them rascals out in the swamp Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest You know what's wrong with the world today People done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth You better watch where you go and remember where you been That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man If you find some error in Simple Man Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Simple Man Way to Go. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/12/2007 Attn: Rich people | Reviewer: Ben | 11/22/2007 For those of you who think that everybody that lives in a trailor park is "whitetrash"... I have many friends that live in trailors and they are some of the most hospitable people I have met. Many of the people that live in trailors realize that they are not the richest people in the world and they do make the best of what they have. I have been grateful to have had the family that I have and just so you know, they're not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I stand by Charlie Daniels and this song and i think, if you live in a nice big expensive home and have pretty much everything you want.... maybe you should step back and see that not everybody has it as good as you and many of those that don't, have a bigger heart than you could fathom. Chris | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/7/2007 I belive Mr. Daniles is 100% correct!!! Im glad he says what he does. Its about time some one does. I love this song. | Reviewer: Daisy | 10/12/2007 I grew up in the country, working for everything I had, including the food we ate. If we didn't raise it, we often didn't have it. My dad worked hard at a regular job in town then came home and worked on the farm to support us, as well as help my aunt who had to take care of my grandmother who was bedfast. But I hate to tell ya, being Southern born and country raised, doesn't make someone white-trash. So, we might not talk as proper as some of the city folk out there, and we might not wear $300 shoes (but then we ain't that dumb to waste that much money on shoes), we might not live in mansions, but when we walk out our backdoors, we have we can see the trees, hear the birds sing and watch wildlife playing, not to mention we don't have to be afraid to let our kids play outside or take a walk. As for letting the rattlers take care of some people, there are a few I wouldn't mind seeing that happen to. I had a good friend who was murdered, killed in cold blood, because he defended himself and made a fool out of a guy trying to show off. My friend could have done some real damage to the creep if he had wanted to, he was a black belt, but he didn't. He even tried to get the guy to just leave them alone, but the guy couldn't leave "The long haired country boy" alone. Finally, after he threw the first punch which was avoided, my friend simply held him down, until the bouncers threw him out of the bar. The guy waited outside until my friend came out alone and stabbed him. The guy was a rich son of bitch and didn't do any time. His parents got him off with time served and probation. So you tell me, if letting the rattlers take care of them isn't the better way sometimes? Since our courts are often crooked instead of blind. Simple Man indeed - real simple! | Reviewer: Vic Christien | 9/2/2007 Yikes! I guess anything passes for music these days in the deep south. Apparently Mr Daniels has put his Bible away as well since the only part he seems to have read is the "Eye for an Eye" part. There's also a part that reads (paraphrased) "whatsoever you do unto the least of my brothers, that you do unto me". I hope he gets to that part soon (hint - it's in the Book of Matthew). I happen to think bringing the drug dealer to Christ is better than hanging them from a tree with a short rope (cuz', oh yeah, "thou shalt NOT kill"). ... and now, I have to go affix my Hillary 2008 sticker to my Jeep. Peace! God bless these United States! Man among men | Reviewer: CL Faulkner | 7/20/2007 Mr. Daniels is in my opionin the very essence of what America is all about and everthing that we as a nation of "Free" men, women, and children, stand for. We feed the hungry, either in out country or a forigien nation, those of us who live by the 'creed', know the difference between right and wrong. God Bless These United States of America, and in GOD do we trust. Thank you Charlie. Chris Faulkner white trash? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/27/2007 I live in a 300k house and i was offended by that assholes comment ,I'D LIKE TO TIE HIS ASS TO A STUMP....YEEEHAAA greatest song ever made | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/12/2007 I dont know where you get off calling charlie daniels fans "white trash", that is bullshit. I do live in a trailer, I might be a redneck but at least I have respect for others. amen charlie daniels | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/24/2007 god, best song on the face of the earth, he preaches the truth Charlie is indeed a simple man | Reviewer: CDB for life | 4/23/2007 This is one of the best songs CDB came out with. It has excellent lines and it is amazing how well Charlie did this song speaking whatever is on his mind. If you can, go see CDB over the summer and trust me, it will not be a waste of money. If you don't take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope. Then reel in some tickets!
