I'll take you down to hell and back
Smooth like a shot of whiskey
Hell, it ain't no crime, the life I lead
Least not down in Dixie

Yeah it's the only life I know
And it's way down inside my bones
Hey you, you better sit back down while you can
Cause your, your in over your head boy
You're messin with a backwoods man

They try to tell us how to live out lives
They say that times are changin
Well you can take your rules way back up north
We don't need what you're saying, no, no

Yeah it's the only life I know
And it's way down inside my bones
Listen, there's just some things you don't understand
And you're way over the line boy
You're messin with a backwoods man

Yeah it's the only life I know
And it's way down inside my bones
Hey you, you better sit back down while you can
Cause your, your in over your head boy
You're messin with a backwoods man
Ooh yeah, messin with a backwoods man
Alright, you're lookin at a backwoods man
Huh yeah, messin with a backwoods man, ooo yeah
