  • 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, our roads are dirt and our trucks ain't clean
    The dogs run lose, we smoke, we chew and fry everything
    Out here, way out here

    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 livin' you're concerned with
    You can leave us alone
    We're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
    Way out here

    We got a fightin' side a mile wide but we pray for peace
    'Cause it's mostly us that end up servin' overseas
    If it was up to me I'd love to see this country run
    Like it used to be, like it oughta be, just like it's done
    Out here, way out here

    'Cause 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 livin' you're concerned with
    You can leave us alone
    'Cause we're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
    Way out here, way out here

    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 livin' you're concerned with
    You can leave us alone
    'Cause we're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
    Yeah, 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 Writer/s: Casey Beathard, David Lee Murphy, Josh Thompson
