By the Boots - Malcolm Holcombe

dont take away my guns and bullets

dont leave me here to die

down here in this ol bunker

full o' fear and a crazy mind

full o' fear and a crazy mind

i was raised hard in these ol hills

baptised drinkin' shine

survivin’s what i’m trained to do

and fightin' for my pride

fightin' for my pride

i heard him on the tv

take what you can get

some politician grinnin'

dont trust the government

dont trust the government

my medicine’s a runnin' low

i cant afford them pills

doctor’s got me strung out cold

and no more dreams to fill

i got no more dreams to fill

ev’rybody’s out to get me

nobody understands

what i am is who i am

with a rifle in my hand

i gotta a rifle in my hand

one day they’re comin' for me

one day i told ya so

and i’ll be ready for em

shoot to kill is all i know

shoot to kill is all in know

the shattered speak with broken words

they tear the wounds wide open

spoken only understood

by boots comin' and goin'

boots comin' and goin'
