C                         G
We don’t call 911,  where we come from, 
                                  C
We still cling to our God and our gun.
                                              F
We were taught to stand our ground and not to run, 
             G                C
No, we don’t call 911,  where we come from.


[Verse 1]
                                          F
Some friends from the big city stopped by our old country home, 
                G                         C
He said, “Ain’t you afraid of living, way out here all alone?”
                                                   F
“That’s just the way we were raised,” I said,  and all we’ve ever known.
      G                                         C
Hell, I can still remember,  when we had no telephone.


[Chorus]
C                         G
We don’t call 911,  where we come from, 
                                  C
We still cling to our God and our gun.
                                              F
We were taught to stand our ground and not to run, 
             G                C
No, we don’t call 911,  where we come from.


[Verse 2]
                                  F
This young gal of 80-years on the Late-Night TV News,
        G                            C
And the people in her viewing,  well they all seen the news.
                                    F
They said she was a hero,  when she caught some local bum,
          G                                                   C
As he was crawling through her window, and he met her big shotgun.


[Chorus]
C                         G
We don’t call 911,  where we come from, 
                                  C
We still cling to our God and our gun.
                                              F
We were taught to stand our ground and not to run, 
             G                C
No, we don’t call 911,  where we come from.

No, we don’t call 911,  where we come from.
