The Law Is for Protection of the People

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk

Someone said, he stumbled and he fell

Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue

Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail'Cause the law is for protection of the people

Rules are rules and any fool can see

We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no sireeHomer Lee Hunnicut was nothin' but a hippy

Walkin' through this world without a care

Then one day, six strappin' brave policeman

Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair'Cause the law is for protection of the people

Rules are rules and any fool can see

We don't need no hairy headed hippies

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no sireeOh, so thank your lucky stars, you've got protection

Walk the line and never mind the cost

And don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin'

When they nailed the Savior to the cross'Cause the law is for protection of the people

Rules are rules and any fool can see

We don't need no riddle speakin' prophets

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
