Down Yonder

Down Yonder where the cops don’t go is where I live life
There’s a no trespassing sign on the fence post and guns are in plain sight
We’re baptized in muddy water but we sip on the Holy kind
Yea I love living Down Yonder on the forgotten side
We can still skin a buck and run a trotline
Them whiskey stills, still distilling that moonshine
We can switch out rims and change our brake lines
Or grow a field full of berries for that homemade wine
But buddy if you decide to show up without an invite
And it’s in the middle of the night then you sure better flash your lights
Cause the things happening out here ain’t quite legal
But it ain’t the people you oughta fear
Nah it’s them guns and dogs, bear traps and hogs
Ball bats and calls echoing from one ridge to the next
We don’t involve the law, we get problems solved
And keep it hush hush till the bones dissolve
Down Yonder where the cops don’t go is where I live life
There’s a no trespassing sign on the fence post and guns are in plain sight
We’re baptized in muddy water but we sip on the Holy kind
Yea I love living Down Yonder on the forgotten side
We can plant it, grow it, raise it, kill it
It ain’t worth eating if you can’t fit it in a cast iron skillet
We can cut it, chop it, break it, build it
Then dry our crops out in that homemade building
Too many people like to talk about what they know nothing bout
If you won’t talk down to my face then go ahead and close your mouth
Cause we ain’t racist
Nah that hatred you place is misplaced it’s, it’s really simple
I respect those who respect me, can’t stand a dead beat
Work hard to make ends meat to provide for your family
Living off in them hollers taught a young’n how to come up
So I’ve been chasing after them dollars ever since I was just a young pup
Down Yonder where the cops don’t go is where I live life
There’s a no trespassing sign on the fence post and guns are in plain sight
We’re baptized in muddy water but we sip on the Holy kind
Yea I love living Down Yonder on the forgotten side
