Firecracker

(album: Jones County - 2014)

I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse
'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse

I got that muddy, muddy river water from the ug-muggie
Camouflage-covered, can't see me, can't touch me
Real tree roots run deep, can you feel me
Can rock a show alone with nothing on me but a six-string
Banjos and drums like you ain't heard
Disobeying old country traditions, it's absurd
Stomping in my boots, they line-dancing in some Lous
Bouncing to my music now they downloading my tunes
See my daddy told me keep putting one foot in front
And don't stop 'til you standing on what you want
And now the top ain't far, I can see it from here
I'm 'bout to blow it up, y'all stand clear of this here

'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse
'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse

I swim with alligators, fry green tomatoes
Catalyst for country-rap, man, I love haters
Live by the rifle, die by the bible
Monday through Sunday it's a down-south revival
Press hunting clothes, Georgia boots and all
Bearded up, it's like that, my hat's made straw
"Yes, ma'am, no ma'am", can't hide my southern drawl
Especially when we say "ain't", we say "y'all"
It may sound funny but don't get it wrong
I'm a firecracker for real not just in a song
If you wanna see a show, come close, feel free
But I bet you won't grab me (Hell naw)

'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse
'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse

'Cause I'm a firecracker until I breathe my last breath
Until the barn burns down and there's no south left
Until my beard won't grow and my dog won't fetch
Until I can't reel it in on this 10-pound test
'Til there's no buck to hunt and gut, mount and dress
Until there's no field to cut and no hay bales left
Until this heart ain't beating in my chest
Until this heart ain't beating in my chest

I'll be a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse
'Cause I'm a firecracker, you better back up off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, yeah I'm about to go off
'Cause I'm a firecracker, y'all done lit my fuse
I'm 'bout to blow it up, I can't lose, I refuse
