Hank Williams Jr.
"I've Got Rights"

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 killed my wife and my only little son

I’ll never forget the way he looked all thru the trial
He had his big named lawyer
And he had that smirkey smile
Whoa yeah he got you off on a technicality
But you 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
I’m gonna read you
I’m gonna read you your rights
You got a right to know that you 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
Guess he thought I was talking
Just to pass away time
But he kinda looks different now
On his knees begging for his life

He 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
Because I want you to know that you’re gonna go
To hell one of these black nights

Naw and this time there n’aint no damn lawyers
And systems to save you
