"God And Guns"

Last night I heard this politician
Talkin' 'bout his brand new mission
Liked his plans but they came undone
When it got around to God & guns

Well I don't know how he grew up
But it sure wasn't down at the huntin' club
'Cause if it was he'd understand
Just a little bit more about the workin' man

God & guns
Keep us strong

That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God & guns
That ain't gonna happen

Out here in my neck of the woods
Where God is great and guns are good
You really can't know that much about 'em
If you think we're better off without 'em
there was a time we ain't forgot

You could rest all night with your doors unlocked
But there ain't nobody safe no more
So you say your prayers and you thank the Lord
For that peace maker '38 in the dresser drawer

God & guns
Keep us strong
(Keep us strong)

That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God & our guns
Yeah, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God & guns
That ain't happening baby
Got a shotgun rifle and a four wheel drive

God & guns
A country boy can survive
Don't let 'em take
Don't you let 'em take
Don't let 'em take our God & guns
God & guns, yeah, keep us strong

That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God & guns
I don't think so
