Lyrics

I was born in this backwoods holler
Like my daddy and his before
Legend says a battle was fought here
The tail end of the Civil War

This dirt road, General Lee traveled
Right before Appomattox came down
And I don't mind a little bit of gravel
But you ain't gonna pave this sacred ground

So don't waste your time
I can tell you I ain't gonna budge
You won't change my mind
I'm as stubborn as old oak stump
Your steamroller better turn around
'Cause that asphalt ain't touchin' this ground
You might've got it past the authorities
But no road's gonna go through me

I don't care 'bout the Board of Supervisors
I don't care about the county's plans
I pretty good with this here rifle
Ain't afraid to use it if you force my hand

CHORUS

What about the sheriff? Go ahead and call
You see, he's my brother-in-law


CHORUS
