Third World County Lyrics by The ​eXcavators

Going Poaching - Single

2016

[Verse 1]
You got "Not From Around Here" written all over you
And in that foreign car
No you won't get far
Up them gravel avenues
'Cause it's a real rough road with a real steep grade
Homemade hand grenades
Hey, I wouldn't roll on through
[Chorus 1]
'Cause it's three generations to a double-wide
They got a whole lotta soul and a whole lotta pride
Homegrown on that mountainside
Y'all there ain't no law
Once you cross
The third world county line
[Verse 2]
Walking the road with a bank note in your hand
You brought a couple of cats
Yeah you're looking to scrap
That place they've staked land
Well, three bulldozers and that foreclosure
Don't mean shit to ex-soldiers
Hey, they're gonna make a stand
[Chorus 2]
You wanna take their land, you'll have to take their lives
And they will fight to the death, y'all that ain't no jive
You won't be walking outta here alive
No there ain't no law
Once you cross
The third world county line
[Bridge]
Because the law of the land's a line in the sand
Cross it, hoss, you take your life in your hands
They're like a homegrown backwoods Taliban
Run while you can
[Chorus 3]
And it's jungle warfare in big tall pines
Deer stands, land mines
Natural nitroglyceride
No there ain't no law
Once you cross
The third world county line
[Outro]
And a third world county country boy can survive
