[Verse 1]

Down in Mississippi, where the sun beats down from the sky

They give it up, and they give it up, and they give it up but they never ask why

Daddy was a rollin', rollin' stone

He rolled away one day and he never came home

[Chorus 1]

It ain't hard to understand

This ain't Hitler's master plan

What it takes to be a man

Ooh, in my mind, in my brain

I roll it over like a steamin' freight train

It ain't hard to ascertain

[Verse 2]

You only see what you want to believe

When you light up in the back with those tricks up your sleeve

That don't mean I can't hang

Day that I die will be the day that I

Shut my mouth and put down my guitar

Sunday morning, hold church down at the bar

Get down on your knees and start to pray, oh

Pray my itchy rash will go away, ow

[Chorus 2]

Back up y'all, it ain't me

Kentucky Fried Chicken is all I see

It's a hellified way to start your day

If I make you cry all night

Me and daddy gonna have a fist fight

It ain't personal, it ain't me

[Verse 3]

I only hear what you told me to be

I'm a backward-ass hillbilly, I'm Dick Butkus

You know I lie, I get mean

I'm a thief in the dark, I'm a ragin' machine

I'm a triple-rectified-ass son of a bitch

Rec-tite on my ass and it makes me itch

I can see for miles, and miles, and miles, oh

My broken heart makes me smile

[Chorus 3]

In my mind, in my brain

I go back, I go completely insane

It ain't personal, it ain't me

If I make you cry, I might

Be your daddy at the end of the night

Take a load from my big gun

[Verse 4]

You only see what you want to believe

When you creep from the back, I got tricks up my sleeve

24/7, devil's best friend

Makes no difference, it's all same in the end
