(Verse)
(G)Grew up north of that old big muddy
(G)Paid my dues making oilfield money
I (F)watched good men turn a (C/E)bottle into a (G)thief
(G)Hunting whitetails on the same hundred acres
Where my (G)granddaddy swore he'd meet his maker
(F)By God I ain't (C/E)ever gonna (G)leave
If he could (F)see how it turned out
And what they'd (C) say about us now

(Chorus)
And well the (C)man in black didn't take no s**t
From a (F)bought belt buckle and a (C)loudmouth b***h (G)
And if (C)Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
(F) He'd say boy tear those (C) fascists (G)down
If (D)what I am ain't what you heard
(A)Please don't get my (C)Back-(F)woods (G)backwards / / / (G) / / /

(Verse)
(G)I vote the same color as my collar
'Cause I (G)know it ain't the immigrant stealing my dollar
It's the (F)billionaire who profits on the (C)bombs going over-(G)seas
(G)Words in red said love thy neighbor
Un-(G)less I guess you're on your death bed in labor
'Cause your (F)life ain't important as the (C)one that you con-(G)ceived
And God (F)knows this land wasn't (C)made for you and (G)me

(Chorus)
And well the (C)man in black didn't take no s**t
From a (F)bought belt buckle and a (C)loudmouth b***h (G)
And if (C)Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
(F)He'd say boy tear those (C) fascists (G)down
If (D)what I am ain't what you heard
(A)Please don't get my (C)Back-(F)woods (G)backwards

(Chorus)
And well the (C)man in black didn't take no s**t
From a (C)bought belt buckle and a (C)loud-(Bb)mouth (G)b***h
And if (C)Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
He'd (F)say boy tear those (C)fascists down (G)
If (D)what I am ain't what you heard
(G)Please don't get my (C)Back-(F)woods (G)backwards / / /
