[Verse 1]Well a man came on the 6 o'clock newsSaid somebodys been shot, somebodys been abusedSomebody blew up a building, somebody stole a carSomebody got away, somebody didn't get too far yeah-- They didn't get too far[Verse 2]Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my days, sonA man had to answer for the wicked that he doneTake all the rope in Texas find a tall oak treeRound up all of them bad boys, hang them high in the street-- For all the people to see that...[Chorus]Justice is the one thing you should always findAYou got to saddle up your boysAYou got to draw a hard lineWhen the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tuneAWe'll all meet back at the local saloonWe'll raise up our glasses against evil forcesSinging whiskey for my men, beer for my horsesSinging whiskey for my men, beer for my horses[Verse 3]We got too many gangsters doing dirty deedsWeve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streetsIts time the long arm of the law put a few more in the groundSend em all to their maker and hell settle em down-- You can bet hell set em down cause...[Chorus 2x]Justice is the one thing you should always findAYou got to saddle up your boys[Chorus]
