Let me shoot it to you straight and

I've said all of this before... before

I would hate to pull the trigger,

But if harm is knockin' at my door... my door

An intruder breaks in, you dial 9-1-1

Whatchu feel safer with - the telephone or a gun?

Got kids in the house and a lady to protect

And it only takes a sec for a lunatic to flip

Uncomfortable with trustin' my family's fate

To how fast the police can respond to the case

Betta pick up the pace, ain't just gonna sit here and wait

And just in case they get here too late

I sleep with a 9 underneath my pillow

Got a 12 gauge under my bed

So don't come in this house unannounced

Or there might be lead flyin' at yo' head

I sleep with a 9 underneath my pillow

Got a 12 gauge under my bed

So don't come in this house unannounced

Or there might be lead flyin' at yo' head

In Texas, it's expected you have a weapon

But if guns murder people, all of mine are defective

Around these parts, as far as I can tell

The Castle Doctrine will stay alive and well

Love to hit the range, bust off a few rounds

Of course, it's a sport, but just in case it goes down

I need a place with 3 safes, a shed full of ammo

Closets filled with camo, on the edge of Midlo and

It's been expunged, so my record is clean

Don't point your little judgmental fingers at me

Ha... and if the zombie apocalypse comes

I'm postin' up with my Pops and triple-tappin' for fun

I sleep with a 9 underneath my pillow

Got a 12 gauge under my bed

So don't come in this house unannounced

Or there might be lead flyin' at yo' head

As wrong as it is, not a concern

Break in my house, you get put in the dirt

God forbid they end up in a hearse

Shoulda thought about that before crossin' the turf

Deadly force is a last resort

What choice do I have if it's mine or your's

No price on how much a life is worth

Think twice before you deny my words
