Kris Kristofferson - The Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics
Billy dalton staggered on the sidewalkSomeone said he stumbled and he fellSix squad cars came screaming to the rescueHauled old billy dalton off to jailcause the law is for protection of the peopleRules are rules and any fool can seeWe dont need no drunks like billy daltonScarin decent folks like you and me, no sireeCharlie watson wandered like a strangerShowing he had no means of supportPolice man took one look at his pants cuffsHustled charlie watson off to court.cause the law is for protection of the peopleRules are rules and any fool can seeWe dont need no bums like charlie watsonScarin decent folks like you and me, no siree.Homer lee hunnicut was nothing but a hippyWalking thru this world without a careThen one day, six strapping brave policemanHeld down homer lee and cut his haircause the law is for protection of the peopleRules are rules and any foola can seeWe dont need no hairy headed hippiesScarin decent folks like you and me, no sireeSo thank your lucky stars youve got protectionWalk the line, and never mind the costAnd dont wonder who them lawmen was protectingWhen they nailed the savior to the cross.cause the law is for protection of the peopleRules are rules and any fool can seeWe dont need no riddle speaking prophetsScarin decent folks like you and me, no siree.
