Verse

I just rDead the headlines in the NaAshville News G

And I wisDh i made this up but im afrAaid its true G

Cause a man wDas murdered for his money iAn the street G

He was takinD his wife to a nice placAe to eat G

When they Dcaught the man he did 23 months of timeA G

He plDead insanity like they do now all Athe time G

Sir wDhat would you have done in 1859 A G

now if you shoDot someone sir you can get oAff scott free G

its the latDest thing mr LincolnA can you believe G

Now they suDe the manufactures of tAhe guns G

aint the laDw changed alot sincAe 1861 E

Repeat chorus

they let daDngerous men outta prison now yesA sir im afraid its so G

cause theyre overDcrowded and it was only his fifth ofAfense G

Gand this time hes killed someone does that make any sense

Now my lawyDer called me about a nuisaAnce case G

Cause everDybody sues over any little thinAg these days G

well atD least we're right all we gotta do isA tell the truth G
