There's a rifle in my closet Made in 1893 And carved right on the barrel It says Winchester Company It's been passed through generations I've been taught to use it well It's put food there on the table And it’s never been for sale There is people in my TV Telling me what’s right and wrong But not one damn gun of mine Has ever pulled trigger on its on From my cold dead hands It's about you and me Ain't no redneck thing Why don't you understand? You can bitch and moan All you want You'll get my gun From my cold dead hands There is an amendment to a paper Up in Washington DC Ratified and voted on By folks like you and me Well, it's made through the ages Guarantees this country free And you can't bet your bottom dollar It ain't ending here with me From my cold dead hands It's about you and me Ain't no redneck thing Why don't you understand? You can bitch and moan All you want You'll get my gun From my cold dead hands From my cold dead hands It's about you and me Ain't no redneck thing Why don't you understand? From my cold dead hands It's about you and me Ain't no redneck thing Why don't you understand? You can bitch and moan All you want You'll get my gun From my cold dead hands
