I went down to the Mary Cater Paint Store
|
I said, give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum .44s
|
Cause there's a man that the law let loose and justice was not done
|
This man he killed my wife and my only little son
|
|
I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial
|
He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile
|
Oh yeah, he got you off on a technicality
|
But you'd have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me
|
|
Cause I got rights
|
I got rights too
|
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you
|
But I'm gonna read you - I'm gonna read you your rights
|
You got the right to know that you're gonna go to hell one of these black nights
|
|
And when the trial was over he had the nerve to say that's the way it goes
|
I said, well hoss you better get you some corks cause your gonna have to plug up a few holes
|
I guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time
|
But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life
|
|
Hey, I got rights
|
I got some rights too
|
And this time there won't be no damn lawyers and systems to protect you
|
But I'm gonna read you - I'm gonna read you your rights
|
Cause I want you to know that your gonna go to hell one of these black nights
|
|
Yeah, and this time there aint no damn lawyers and systems to save you
|
