**Capo 1st Fret**
E
There's those who turn their nose up
When we play our music loud
Those folks would love to take control
And turn our volume down
A7
But we come from the country
And we live by the code
E
That if it feels good, we're gonna do it
There ain't no middle of the road
A7
And no one's gonna tell me
E
How to live my life
'Cause it's my life
A7
And it ain't nobody's business
E
What kind of flag I fly
'Cause that's my right
D
We just love what we're doin'
A7
You can hear it in our songs
E
We ain't gonna break, ain't gonna bend
E (Hold note....)
We're just carryin' on
E
It's a sign of the times, everybody trying
To be politically correct
But worrying 'bout what other people think
Will make you a nervous wreck
A7
We're just here to tear the house down
With the many or the few
E
There ain't no law against having a ball
And that's just what we'll do
