Lynyrd Skynyrd – Gimme Back My Bullets lyrics
Life is so strange when it's changin', yes indeed
Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on workin' like a workin' man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

[Chorus:]
Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets

Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues

[Chorus:]
Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put 'em back... Where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

[Chorus:]
Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around, 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put 'em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets

    Bullets are record company jargon for a song climbing the charts. Ronnie Van Zant was also very anti handgun in his personal beliefs.(Saturday Night Special) After numerous record company executives attempting to maximize Skynyrds commercial value for profit in there own pockets, One Jacksonville redneck had enough! So as with "Wrote a song for the bad man" & "Working for MCA" A simple man.

    If you set your mind to it you can do it. Never let anyone tell you that you can't or your worthless. If you start believing what other people think about you then you will never get anywhere. Always lead, never follow. Don't tread on me and don't ever count me out cause when you do I'll come from behind and kick your ever loving ass! I always win.
