lyrics

Don't take me for a fool

Standing on the front lawn
with a shotgun in my hand
Looking at my little plot of land
I hear a car in the distance
the sheriffs on his way
with a piece of paper to take it all away

They say that the times are tough
and if you cant keep up
There's nothing else they can do
I might not be smart
But believe my aim is sharp
They better not take me for a fool
Don't take me for a fool

The bank says I'm late
they doubled my interest rate
and now they can no longer wait
I sent the wife and kids to grandmas
it think its better off that way
for what I'm about to do there will be hell to pay

I let the fresh air fill my lungs
the wind is on my side
I ain't giving up with out a fight
The sheriff knows my name
He knows I don't play games
but the bank pays him enough to have their way
