I Got Rights

[2MidnightRiders]

I went down to the Mary Cater Paint Store

I said, give me one of them Smith & Wesson Magnum .44s

[2MidnightRiders]

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

[2MidnightRiders]

I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial

He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile

[2MidnightRiders]

Oh yeah, he got you off on a technicality

But you'd have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me

[2MidnightRiders]

Cause I got rights

I got rights too

[2MidnightRiders]

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

[2MidnightRiders]

You got the right to know that you're gonna go to hell one of these black nights

[2MidnightRiders]

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

[2MidnightRiders]

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

[2MidnightRiders]

Hey, I got rights

I got some rights too

[2MidnightRiders]

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

[2MidnightRiders]

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
