We pray to CGod she never has to

But if Amevil is creeping Gthrough her door

It’s ouCr job to do, our life to Gsave

[Intro]

C G Am G F

[Verse 1]

C G

A loaded shotgun in the bedroom

within reach of my wife

C G

And I’ve taught her while I’m on the road

what to do to save her life

We pray to God she never has to

and we keep the safety set

Am G

But if evil is creeping through her door

the law won’t be there yet

C G

It’s our job to do, our life to save

F G C

Land of the free, Home of the brave

[Chorus]

Land of the free – Home of the brave

[Verse 2]

C G

The neighborhood is going crazy

they’re setting fire to cars

C G

They’ve been looting all the grocery stores

we can’t put ‘em all behind bars

But ol’ Pops he’s still in business

No they haven’t touched him yet

and a pistol on his hip
