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
Yeah I love living down yonder
On the forgotten side
We can still skin a buck n run a trot line
Whiskey stills, still distilling that moonshine
We can switch out rims and change our brake lines
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 them 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, them 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 until 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
Yeah I love living down yonder
On the forgotten side
We can plant it and grow it, raise it and kill it
It ain't worth eating if it can't put 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
To many people like to talk about what they nothing about
If you won't talk down to my face
Then go ahead and close your mouth
We ain't racist, that hatred that you place is misplaced
It's really simple
I respect those who respect me, can't stand a dead beat
Work hard to make ends meet to provide for your family
Living in them hollers, taught a young'un how to come up
So I been chasing after them dollars ever since I was 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
Yeah I love living down yonder
On the forgotten side
