Hail to the 12 gauge

Hail to the twelve gauge

Hail to the twelve guage
Good out to fifty yards
Get'm over this barrel
And you can hit'm and hit'm hard

Five rounds up the spout
One round in the chamber
A few more in the pocket
To take out any remainder

Come crawlin in my window
Come breakin down my door
And no matter what you've got
Number four can even the score

Come crashin down my fence
Come meanin to do me harm
Allow me to introduce you
To some cold world charm

Grand dad used to use it
It's been improved since then
Treat it with respect
And it'll serve you as a friend

Double ought buck
Nine pellets in the chest
Not many an intruder
Has ever passed that test

Take it out on me
Take it out on mine
Take it out the back door
To the cemetary is fine

Self defense is a right
Self defense is the law
If you're in fear for your life
Tell them what you saw

But you have to be there to do it
And for that you have to survive
Sometimes it takes more than workin
In order to stay alive

I'll feel bad later
Far worse than the creeps
If they would have gotten me
There wouldn't have been a peep

Of self remource
Or regret for what was done
Who'll be there in the morning
Who'll be there to welcome the sun

Hail to the twelve guage
Bruiser of the shoulder
Equal opportunity eliminator
For the insane getting bolder

Self defense is a right
Self defense is the law
If you're in fear for your life
Tell them what you saw

But you have to be there to do it
And for that you have to survive
Sometimes it takes more than workin
In order to survive
