These are the lyric's to the song "Simple Man" by Charlie Daniels...
I ain't nothin' but a simple man
They call me a redneck I reckon that I am
But there's things going on
That make me mad down to the core.
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There's crooked politicians and crime in the street
And I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.
We tell our kids to just say no
Then some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town.
Now if I had my way with people sellin' dope
I'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
I'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down
Now I'm the kinda man that wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin in my house
I've got twelve gauge shotgun waiting on the other side
So don't go pushing me against my will
I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure will
So if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by
As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuse
For the raping and the killing and the child abuse
And I've got a way to put an end to all that mess
Just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest
You know what's wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bibles away
They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
The Good Book says it so I know it's the truth
An eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and remember where you been
That's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

Hello brother. I can't let it go on any longer. What were you thinking posting this? You realize there is a word in it's syntax that is a swear word, right? I'm not asking you to take this post down, I'm just wondering what you were thinking when you posted it.
What were you thinking?
Yea Mike--Don't you know that preachers are not supposed to write words such as "hell" out of context.
But what preachers can do, along with other church members, is justify cursiing by substituting other words for the bad ones.
You should know this Mike.
Now for my opinion that dont really matter.
Maybe you shouldnt have written the lyrics to a song that had the word "hell" used out of an acceptable context. But to all chastizers, before you cast the first stone, take an inventory of your own self and ask yourself is listening to a song with the word "hell" used in an unacceptable context okay. We can listen to the song, even sing along, just keep it on the down low and dont post it on a blog.
Hey! Here is a thought. Why dont we all just blog all the movies we have watched in the last year?
But brethren, i do realize that watching movies that use every explitive known to man is exciting and entertaining--and hey! it is okay to watch them as long as you do not blog using the word "hell" out of context.
Hey here is a bedtime story for everyone to enjoy. Once upon a time there lived a mote. This mote lived in the corner of an eyeball. The mote was really small, almost naked (if i can say naked) to eye. One day the mote was discovered. Now having been discoverd the keeper of the mote was forced to move out into outer darkness with weeping and nashing of teeth.
Hey guys, sorry it is late and i have to go to bed. My wife is calling me to rub her feet.

Well, I guess you are officially the Rev. Mikes body guard. Bro. James and I did not mean to offend you, but as we can clearly see you are very close to him. We are so sorry if I can speak for Bro. James. Any times you feel like you need to confess your sins on the blog sit please think about it next time. Feel free to call and I will come over and allow you to cry on my shoulder. I still think the "Night of TerroR" for better words to describe your 4 wheeler travels, still have you a bit angry. But feel free to confess your sins at any time. We are praying for you. YOu can do better.
Sounds to me like Brother LLL listens to bad music and watches bad movies too. It's okay Brother, I'll pray for ya.
The issue here isn't sin. It's posting it for the world to see. Sin is sin, but sinning and then telling the world might just be two sins.
As Brother Mike once told me (paraphrased from memory), "There are things husbands and wives do that aren't sinful, but they aren't appropriate to share with the world."
Well My Brethren I see that some of you are jealous of my relationship with the prophet.
As for the music and movies, i do not listen to secular music and i do not watch filthy tv.
I do however know "those" who do watch innapropriate movies.
Maybe you boys would like to stop all this blogging back and forth and step into my world. How about stepping into the squared circle with the Lucious One? How would you like to step into the ring with the 9 time Southern States Heavy Weight Champion, 4 time North American Champion, 1/2 of the former NWA Tag Teem Champions "The War Pigs" and the CSWA All Time Hardcore Champion?
Let me just inform the much needed to be informed.
I am The Biggest and The Baddest of the ABA.
Brothers my boots and tights are ready, and brothers when I lace up those boots pull on those tights Lucious Loui LeBlanc is born. Brothers when you go to bed at night just know that my 3 Ton Mamoth Drop will cause the spirit and soul of a man to flea in fear of the Lucious One.
Brothers the step into my world, step into the stratosphere of the Lucious One. Your pain awaits my brothers.
P.S. The Prophet does not need the Lucious One to watch over him. The Prophet can handle himself.

To all readers of this comment. About ten years ago i was a profesional wrestler. The things that i wrote in this comment is for a laugh. I would never think of hurting anyone, exspecially my brothers. All this is JUST FOR FUN!!!!!!!!!
I hope this didnt take away from the comment, but you know how people love to start rumors.
LLL
Boys, I have been in the circle with LLL. It is a scary thing. Stay Away!!!
Mike,
I also have a problem with your post of this song. The word ain't is used several times, kinda is not a real word (kind of), dern is misspelled (should be darn), and "done gone" put their Bibles away is grammatically incorrect.
We all should be careful in posting, but even posting something squeaky clean or gospel truth can "fall short of the glory of God" if we do it out of pride, to appear superior to others, or when we should be witnessing, etc.
Hey, the world sometimes makes me madder than...*$#*%$
