Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun And you might meet 'em both if you show up here, not welcome son Our necks are burnt, the roads are dirt and our trucks ain't clean The dogs run loose, we smoke, we chew and fry everything Out here, way out here [Chorus] We won't take a dime if we ain't earned it When it comes to weight, brother we pull our own If it's our backwoods way of living you're concerned with Well you can leave us alone Cause we're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere Way out here We've got a fighting side, a mile wide but we pray for peace Cause it's mostly us that end up serving overseas If it was up to me I'd love to see this country run Like it used to be, like it ought to be, just like it's done Out here, way out here [Chorus] Way out here [Chorus] John Wayne, Johnny Cash, and John Deere Way out here way out here Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son
