Lyrics
Modern Day
We live in a world you have to lock your doors
Cause if you don?t somebody?s gonna steal everything you own
And the terrorists they just don?t care
And there?s more crossin? the border everyday
Well I?m a simple country man trapped in a modern day
I just want to go to the mountains
Too many bills I have to pay
I want to go where living off the land is a way of life
And the middle of nowhere is my backyard
Where you can own a gun and hunt for fun
And try to get away from this damned ole modern day
We?re polluting the land as fast as we can
In the cities where they tax the air you breathe
And the price of gas is a rising fast
And the internet?s taking over everything
Well I?m a simple country man trapped in a modern day
I just want to go to the mountains
Too many bills I have to pay
I want to go where living off the land is a way of life
And the middle of nowhere is my backyard
Where you can own a gun and hunt for fun
And try to get away from this damned ole modern day
I want to go where living off the land is a way of life
And the middle of nowhere is my backyard
Where you can own a gun and hunt for fun
And try to get away from this damned ole modern day
