Southern Monday Music: "Gimme Back My Bullets"

More music from the soundtrack of my life...Here's my all-time favorite Skynyrd song, "Gimme Back My Bullets."


Life is so strange when it's changing, yes indeed
Well, I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on working like the working man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around 'cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets

Sweet talking people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leaving this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back...gimme back my bullets
Oh, put em back...where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I've got it back, I'm feeling better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around, 'cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back...gimme back my bullets
Oh, put 'em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets
