Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a little story 'bout how I was raised
Every day work, every day pray
God, family, friends, yeah, everybody's friends
A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins
Help folks in need, don't fall for greed
A jealous man is weak so think before you speak
If you love em, let 'em know
If you hate, let it go
Fast can be fun, but sometimes you need slow
God is all good, the devil is so real
So listen up y'all 'cause this is how I feel
[Verse 2]
I won't back up, I don't back down
I've been raised up to stand my ground
Take my job, but not my guns
Tax my check till I ain't got none
Except for the good Lord up above
I answer to no one
[Verse 3]
See I'm a flag flying, bible toting son of a gun
Yeah, I'm hell on the hard, just a revel on the run
Scared, don't know it, fear, don't feel it
The truth is the light, sometimes you gotta fight
Good beats bad, right beats wrong
I'm a ballroom preacher and this is my song
I'm climbing for the top, representing for the country
I'm the people's champ, right out the deer camp
Shotgun toter, Republican voter
Hank Junior supporter, let's protect our border
To hell with anyone who don't believe in the USA
'Cause this is what I say
[Verse 4]
I won't back up, I don't back down
I've been raised up to stand my ground
Take my job, but not my guns
Tax my check till I ain't got none
Except for the good Lord up above
I answer to no one
[Verse 5]
Give me my right to vote
My right to tote the weapon of my choice
Don't censor my voice
Hate me if you want or love me if you can
If the truth is what you want
Then you found your man
I ain't backing down, I ain't backing up
If you think like I think, man, crank it on up
[Verse 6]
I won't back up, I don't back down
I've been raised up to stand my ground
Take my job, but not my guns
Tax my check till I ain't got none
Except for the good Lord up above
I answer to no one
I answer to no one, son
