Intro:
I went down to the Mary Carter paint store
I said, "Give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum 44 s"
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 yea, he got off on a technicality
But you ll have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me
Chorus:
Cause I got rights, I got rights, too
And this time there won t be no damn lawyers
Or systems to protect you
Cause I m gonna read you, I m gonna read you your rights
You ve got a right to know that you re gonna go
To hell one of these black nights
When the trial was over, he had the nerve to say, "That s the way it goes"
Well, I said, "Hoss, you better get some corks cause you re gonna have to plug
up a few holes"
I guess he thought I was talking just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different now on his knees beggin for his life
Chorus
