Southern Justice |
| He was born in the big iron city |
| Deep in the heart of Dixie, yes he was now |
| Raised on the good Book |
| Taught to take a good look at what’s going on |
| His daddy was Birmingham lawman |
| A servant of the people through and through |
| They say blood is thicker than water |
| So the boy got a badge and a suit of blue |
| He was long on southern justice |
| Practiced his law out on the street |
| Drew the line for the criminal mind to see |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
| There are two sides to every big city |
| And he walked on the side that wasn’t pretty |
| A solitary ranger |
| He had to deal with the danger 'round every turn |
| Every day was a tightrope of decision |
| Between a forty-four and a heart of gold |
| Some of those hard case confrontations |
| Would cut him like a switch-blade to his soul |
| He was long on southern justice |
| Practiced his law out on the street |
| Drew the line for the criminal mind to see |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
| Late one night down on Crack Street Alley |
| He walked up on a bad deal goin' down |
| He knew what he’d done |
| When he saw that shotgun swing around |
| He drew then froze in hesitation |
| When he saw that fourteen year old face |
| Then the fire from that shotgun barrel |
| Blew all his burdens away |
| Blew his burdens away |
| He was long on southern justice |
| Practiced his law out on the street |
| Drew the line for the criminal mind to see |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
| He was long on southern justice |
| Practiced his law out on the street |
| Drew the line for the criminal mind to see |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
| Dedicated to keep God’s children free |
