[Verse 1]
It's my life
It's my decision
It's my idea of a good time
It's my religion
I don't make no sudden moves
Can't afford to make mistakes
I'm a fearless man

Would surely strike me

I handle snakes y'all
[Bridge]
I handle snakes
I hug 'em and I kiss 'em

I handle snakes
But if they kill me
I'm sure gonna miss 'em

It's my idea of a good time (yes it is yes it is)
It's my religion
But I don't say hallelujah
I don't even say grace
I make my statement
I say it with snakes
[Outro]
I handle snakes y'all
I handle snakes y'all
I fool around with snakes
Strike me, band
