I just wanna catch my fish… drive my truck… drink my beer

The only thing mine ever shot was… deer from my deer stand

I just wanna cut my grass… feed my dogs… and wear my boots

Be told if I tell my own daughter… that little boys ain’t little girls

I’ll be up the creek in hot water… in this cancel your ass world

And I’m a downright hateful monster… if I back the blue and badge
