Lletres: Shad Blair. The Judge.

Folks round here they keep a careful eye
they say you got to watch your back
don't ask why
just keep your friends far away
and your enemies near
cause everybody knows there ain't no law around here
yeah cause money makes the monkey dance
tonight i'm gonna jump that fence
i'm gonna kill that judge that put my brother away that's the only way i know to make him pay
cause he's crooked and he's caused a lot of tears but that's the way it's been around here for years
and while i'm at it gonna get the sherriff too
he's as guilty as the judge you know it's true

that will all change tonight with a need for vengance and a forty-five i'm a working man and i got my rights
ain't nobody getting out of this alive

i wait for the judge out on his ranch
where at one time my daddy was a hired hand
from a window in the house where i was born
shot him down by the stable barn
and on a hillside near that's where i wait
so the sherriff too could meet his fate
when he drove out to draw his wage
shot him in the chest watched him fall to his grave
now i killed em both with my daddy's gun
and i know probably could of run
but i knew they'd catch up to me in time
so i just grabbed that sherriff's forty-five

everything changed that night with a need for vengance and a forty-five
i was a working man and i had my rights
ain't nobody got out of that alive
