Hank Williams Jr. — Ive Got Rights

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] I'll never forget the way he looked all through the trial He had a big name lawyer and he had that smirky smile Oh, yeah, he got you off on a technicality But you'd have to grow wings and fly to ever get away from me [Chorus] '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 [Verse 3] 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 your 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Naw, and this time there ain't no damn lawyers and systems to save you
