I went down to the Mary Carter paint store

I said give me one of them Smith and Wesson magnum forty fours

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 through the trial

He had his big named lawyer and he had that smirkey smile

Oh yeah he got you off on a technicality

But you'll 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 lawyer and system to protect you

But I'm gonna read you I'm gonna read you your rights

You gotta 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

I said well hoss you better get you some corks 

Cause you're gonna have to plug up a few holes

Guess he thought I was talkin' just to pass away time

But it kinda looks different now on his knees beggin' for his life

Hey I got rights I got some rights too...

No this time there ain't no damn lawyers and systems to save you
