Everyone knows I'm the hard workin' peace lovin' type

I walk a thousand miles out of my way
G A C D C
Just to keep from a fight

Poke fun at the way that I talk
D A C D C
Or this hat that I wear
A C D
You can say what you want about me
G A C D
See if I care

[Chorus]
A D G D
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God Or my mama
A G D
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
A C
You'll see a side of me man
D A
That I don't think you wanna
G D A C D A C D
Cause them there's fightin' words

I've swapped skin now and then in my youth
A C D G A C D C
I was all for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
A C
Now the older I get
D G A C D C
The less I wanna stand toe to toe
A C D
But before you go runnin' your mouth
G A C D
I think you oughta know

[Chorus]

So one slip of the tongue 'bout my dog

Excuse me
First amendment?
Son, the first amendment protects you from the government
Not from me
You can say whatever you want to out there
You come within reach of me
I'll exercise my right to give you a good ol' country ass whoopin'
Is what I'll do
Alright
