[Short finger-picked guitar intro] [Powerful, upbeat intro chorus] Don't poke no bear, when we bear arms Don't pick no fights, won't be no harm Don't talk no shit 'less you wanna get rocked Don't cross no lines when your gun's half-cocked 'Cause son, lemme tell ya somethin' you oughta know... Don't screw around with us simple cow folk [Music calms] [Punchy, cool verse] We’re hard-workin’, God-fearin’, with hands in the dirt Sun-up to sundown, sweat on our shirts We rope our own cattle, we break our own steeds Ain’t scared of a fight, but don’t go lookin’ for beef We tote our own iron, keep our hands to ourselves Don’t start no trouble, but we'll give ‘em hell We’re big hearted, country lovin’, lil sun soaked Just hearty, friendly people, we’re simple cow folk [Calm prechorus] You're gonna find out if you mess around So, let this simple man break it down [Big drum fill] [Powerful, upbeat chorus] Don't poke no bear, when we bear arms Don't pick no fights, won't be no harm Don't talk no shit 'less you wanna get rocked Don't cross no lines when your gun's half-cocked 'Cause son, lemme tell ya somethin' you oughta know... Don't screw around with us simple cow folk [Guitar solo] [Punchy, cool verse] A few ol' fools came runnin' their mouths 'Round this rustic lil' town of the humble South They drank too much, so folks cut 'em some slack But hands did wander, and jokes were cracked They touched the wrong lady and mocked the wrong fella Then 'fore they even knew it, simple folks started yellin' So they dragged those fools to the old abandoned shack And I ain't sure what happened, but they didn't come back [Calm prechorus] You're gonna find out if you mess around So, let this simple man break it down [Big drum fill] [Powerful, upbeat outro chorus] Don't poke no bear, when we bear arms Don't pick no fights, won't be no harm Don't talk no shit 'less you wanna get rocked Don't cross no lines when your gun's half-cocked 'Cause son, lemme tell ya somethin' you oughta know... Don't screw around with us simple cow folk...! [Spoken] I'll say it again Don't screw around with us simple cow folk...! [Spoken] One more time Don't screw around with us simple cow folk...! [End]
