[Start]

[Verse]
B B7 B                                  
■ ■  Grew up north of that old big Muddy
  B                                 
I paid my dues making oilfield money
                          E             B    
I watched good men turn a bottle into a thief
B                                           
Hunting whitetails on the same hundred acres
         B                                   
Where my granddaddy swore he'd meet his maker
A        E                B    
By God I ain't ever gonna leave
            A                    
If he could see how it turned out
         E                    
And what they say about us now


[Chorus]
             E                               
And well the man in black didn't take no shit
       A                        E         B    
From a bought belt buckle and a loudmouth bitch
E                                 
If Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
A                 E              B   
He'd say boy tear those fascists down
Gb                               
If what I am ain't what you heard
A                             E        
Please don't get my backwoods backwards
B                                     
And I vote the same color as my collar


[Verse]
         B7                                            
'cause I know it ain't the immigrant stealing my dollar
                                        E                B7   E B7
It's the billionaire who profits on the bombs going over seas ■ ■ 
B7                                 
Words in red said love thy neighbor
B7                                              
Unless I guess you're on your death bed in labor
                                    E                B7        B
'cause your life ain't important as the one that you conceived ■
B7 A                          E                B7
■  God knows this land wadn't made for you and me


[Chorus]
         E                               
Well the man in black didn't take no shit
       A                        E         B    
From a bought belt buckle and a loudmouth bitch
E                                 
If Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
A                 E              B   
He'd say boy tear those fascists down
Gb                               
If what I am ain't what you heard
Gb7    A            E         B        
Please don't get my backwoods backwards
B7                            Bm7                    E B
C'mon now that's that country ■   fuckin' music baby ■ ■
Gb          E                               
■  Well the man in black didn't take no shit
                                D         B     B7
From a bought belt buckle and a loudmouth bitch ■ 
       E                              
And if Guthrie saw what I'm seeing now
A                       E            
He'd say boy tear those fascists down
B  B7 Gb                            
If ■  what I am ain't what you heard
D                   E         B        
Please don't get my backwoods backwards


[Outro]
         
Hell yeah
             B7           
The fuck I'm talking about
          B        
Backwoods backwards
                               B7 B

             B
