Don't Tread On Me - Lyrics & Chords
by Rob Walsh 2016
Poor old John Henry
Ain't got nothing to do
There's not a lot of work for a steel driving man
But that ain't nothing new
He hangs out at the convience store
With Johnny Appleseed
Who just can't think of a reason
To plant another tree
They lean against the garbage can
And watch the world go by
And what they see is crazy stuff
That they don't recognize
They say that's why old Casey Jones
And Pecos Bill left town
These folks are living in a dream
And the house is falling down
Don't tread (mess) on me
Don't run me down
Get out of my way
Quit hanging around
I'm trying to find a way
To get free
From all these wheels
Turning back on me
And I try and I try
And I try and I try
But the man is keeping me down
And I try and I try
And I try . . .
The zombies walk right past them
And go into the store
They buy lottery tickets and liquor
Because they're so damnned bored
This place is like a ghost town
With folks on every front porch
And a headless horseman riding 'round
Waving a flaming torch
Don't tread on me
Don't run me down
Get out of my way
Quit hanging around
I'm trying to find a way
To get free
From all these wheels
Turning back on me
And I try and I try
And I try and I try
But the man is keeping me down
And I try and I try
And I try . . .
