Drivin' down the highway
with 3 things on my mind,
food, shelter, and freedom
yeah I'll take what I can find

And my only company
is this pocket full of shells
yeah they took my family and now I'm
bound to raise some hell

Some folks are born
with a silver spoon in hand
others born without a spine
never meant to take a stand

but me and all of my friends
who habitate this land
we were born with a fire inside
we were born to fight the man

So now I'm rollin' down the highway
turn right onto route 41
now I'm takin' it my way
this is just the way of the gun
yeah, yeah
the gun

Well I woke up on that morning
and I gazed out through the flames
and there I saw the sheriff
and I knew he was to blame

then I saw the swat team
as they're kickin' down the door
they crossed this son of liberty
and got more than they bargained for

So now I'm rollin' down the highway
turn right onto route 41
now I'm takin' it my way
this is just the way of the gun
yeah, yeah
the gun

Lookin' down range through my scope
as the checkpoint comes in sight
bend over Sheriff Jackson
and kiss your ass goodnight

Pick up my spent magazine
and I roll off to the sun
now they're takin' it my way
this is just the way of the gun
yeah, yeah
the gun

the gun
yeah, yeah
the gun
