I am by nature a laid back kind of man
I take every day just as easy as I can
But there are just some things that I cannot abide
And there are just some times when I can’t keep it all inside
I get to spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And a breakin and a bustin’ chairs
Crashin’ and a bangin’, yellin’ and haranguing
And inventin’ all kinds of swears
Screamin’ and a reamin’ and a howlin’ and a growlin’
And a roarin’ like angry bear.
Spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And you don’t wanna take me there
I once knew a young lady, the fairest girl in all the land
And I went over to win over her mother, and ask this girl for her hand
But her daddy he did press me to see if I was genteel
And he asked me one question too many, and that’s when things got real
I get to spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And a breakin and a bustin’ chairs
Crashin’ and a bangin’, yellin’ and haranguing
And inventin’ all kinds of swears
Screamin’ and a reamin’ and a howlin’ and a growlin’
And a roarin’ like angry bear.
Spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And you don’t wanna take me there
After the storm has passed I’m really quite a dove
And I get right back to huggin’ and a kissin’ and speakin’ of peace and love.
I try to be a gentleman, as gentle of a man as I can,
And incivility is uncommon for me, but there are things I just cannot stand.
I was once a news man, I read the news on TV
And as it was a sin to hint at my opinion, I was pleasant as pleasant could be
But every day pretendin’ was ok readin’ all the politicians’ crimes
Well, I just couldn’t disguise disgust at all of lies, and my melt down went out live
I get to spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And a breakin and a bustin’ chairs
Crashin’ and a bangin’, yellin’ and haranguing
And inventin’ all kinds of swears
Screamin’ and a reamin’ and a howlin’ and a growlin’
And a roarin’ like angry bear.
Spittin’ and a cussin’ and a fightin’ and a fussin’
And you don’t wanna take me there
