[Verse 1]
D
There's a system in the backwoods
C
There's a way of doin' things
G D
If you break in we don't leave all of the fun to the police
C D C
I just heard a bunch of racket comin' from the back screen door
G D
Soon as you step in I'm gonna drop you on the kitchen floor
C G F
'Cause we ain't playin', we ain't playin'
[Chorus]
D C G D
My sawed off 12 gauge spreads a country mile, you know it
D C G D
Step one foot in this house, son, you've already blown it

Takes twenty minutes for the police to find my house

I'll have gone in less than one, 'cause out here I am 911

I am 911

Texas has the Castle Doctrine
C
Florida, Georgia, Idaho
G D
Carolinas, Oklahoma they're all here to let you know

And that's why…
