Law Is For Protection Of The People
Kris Kristofferson
Verse 1: Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk Someone said he stumbled then he fell Six squad cars came screamin to the rescue Hauled ol' Billy Dalton off to jail CHORUS 1: Cause the law is for protection of the people Rules are rules and any fool can see We dont' need no drunks like Billy Dalton Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree VERSE 2: Homer Le honkeycutt was nothin but a hippie Walkin through his world without a care Then one day six strapping brave policemen Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair CHORUS 2: 'Cause the law is for protection of the people Rules are rules and any fool can see We don't need no hairy headed hippies Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree VERSE 5: So thank your lucky stars you got protection Walk the line nad nevermind the cost Don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin When they nailed the savior to the cross CHORUS 3: 'Cause the law is for protection of the people Rules are rules and any fool can see We don't need to riddle speakin prophets Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree Outro: verse chords (twice) Chords (relative to capo):
