Snakes in the Henhouse (By Kentucky Johnson)  

[Verse 1] 

Door was locked, but they still got in,
Lyin’ like brothers, grinnin’ like kin.
Took what they wanted, what they left they broke,
Grinnin’ in the rearview, whistlin’ like a joke.

[Chorus]

Snakes in the henhouse, wolves at the door,
You just don’t know who to trust no more.
They shake your hand while stealin’ your land,
Then gut you clean with your name in their hand.

[Verse 2] 

You give ‘em bread, they’ll take your whole meal,
Tell you it’s business, but make it a steal.
Ain’t no preacher, but I’ve read the signs,
And the devil don’t knock, he just walks inside.

[Chorus]

Snakes in the henhouse, wolves at the door,
You just don’t know who to trust no more.
They shake your hand while stealin’ your land,
Then gut you clean with your name in their hand.

[Verse 3] 

Now I keep a light on and a dog by the gate, 

Ain’t afraid of trouble—just the ones who fake.

They bring court papers or they wear a badge, 

Still stink like the shame of a roadside rash.

[Bridge] 

I’ve been fooled, but I ain’t blind,
I’ve seen the flickin' tongue and the crooked spine.
And if you slither back through my door again,
You’ll find your in one hell of a lion’s den!

[Final Chorus]

Snakes in the henhouse, wolves at the door,
You just don’t know who to trust no more.
They shake your hand while stealin’ your land,
Then gut you clean with your name in their hand.

[Final Chorus & Outro]

Yeah there's Snakes in the henhouse, wolves at the door,
But I ain’t sleepin’ like I was before.
No truce left standin’ when the line’s been crossed,
Truth don’t bend, and I don’t get lost.
Snakes in the henhouse, wolves in the dark—
But I ain’t their toy, and I ain’t their mark.

No truce left standin’ when the line’s been crossed,
Truth don’t bend, and I don’t get lost.

Snakes in the henhouse, wolves in the dark—
But I ain’t their toy, and I ain’t their mark.
