Hank Williams, Jr. - I've Got Rights Lyrics

I went down to the Mary Carter paint store
I said, "Give me one of them Smith
& Wesson Magnum 44s"
'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

I'll never forget the way he
Looked all through the trial
He had his big name lawyer and
He had that smirky smile
Woah, 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
But 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'd 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 he kinda looks different
Now on his knees, beggin' for his life

Hey, 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 ain't no damn
Lawyers and systems to save you
