The Law Is For Protection Of The People Lyrics - Me And Bobby Mcgee - Kris Kristofferson

Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk 

Someone said, he stumbled and he fell 

Six squad cars came screamin' to the rescue 

Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail 

'Cause the law is for protection of the people 

Rules are rules and any fool can see 

We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton 

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree 

Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothin' but a hippy 

Walkin' through this world without a care 

Then one day, six strappin' brave policeman 

Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

'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 

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree 

Oh, so thank your lucky stars, you've got protection 

Walk the line and never mind the cost 

And don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin' 

When they nailed the Savior to the cross

Rules are rules and any fool can see 

We don't need no riddle speakin' prophets 

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
