Verse
                                          
Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news
                                              
Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused.
                                             
Somebody blew up a building, somebody stole a car.
                                                 
Somebody got away, somebody didn't get too far.
                         
Yeah, they didn't get too far.
                                                 
Grandpappy told my pappy, "Back in my day, son,
                                             
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done.
                                              
Take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree,
                                                 
Round up all them bad boys, hang 'em high in the street
                        
    For all the people to see that


Chorus
                                           
Justice is the one thing you should always find.
                                                     
You gotta saddle up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line.
                                              
When the gunsmoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
                                    
We'll all meet back at the local saloon.
                                          
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singin,
                                 
"Whiskey for my men, Beer for my horses."


Verse
                                     
We got too many gangsters doin dirty deeds.
                                                     
We've got too much corruption too much crime in the streets
                                            
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the 
 
ground
                                                     
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
                             
You can bet he'll settle 'em down cause


Chorus
                                           
Justice is the one thing you should always find.
                                                     
You gotta saddle up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line.

Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.
