Some kids grew up on mean streets 
Dealin' with the crips and bloods 
But me I was born on a back road 
In a 4X4 rollin' through the mud 

The street kid deals with the dealer 
And he's always watchin' his back 
Me, I'm watchin' a line, with a woman of mine 
Down by the creek bank shack 

Give me .308 and a shotgun 
And a gallon of homemade wine 
Drop me off on a mountainside 
Where the bear and the deer reside 
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire 
Makin' this guitar ring 
I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines 
While the world goes down the drain 

Just to dwell on life in the city 
Is makin' my blood run cold 
'Cause miles and miles of concrete 
Eats away at the human soul 

When you live and die in the country 
There's a little that your heart can mourn 
With your hands in the dirt and a little work 
You can weather out any storm 

Give me .308 and a shotgun 
And a gallon of homemade wine 
Drop me off on a mountainside 
Where the bear and the deer reside 
I'll spend my nights sittin' round the fire 
Makin' this guitar ring 
I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines 
While the world goes down the drain 

I'll be doin' fine underneath the pines 
While the world goes down the drain
