Read Me My Rights

Somebody better call the law

We done took it outside, we're about to brawl

Ole boy done put his hands on a woman

Where I come from, son, the next thing comin' is a

Ass whoopin' in the parking lot

About to drop this fool right in front of the cops

And I ain't gonna run

I'm proud of what I've done

Yeah, read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, better lock me up

And I'll do my time and raise my right hand

And I'll tell the judge that I'd do it again

Well, I heard it through the grapevine

Good Daddy and a husband is a doin' time

Said his wife and his kids was in the house

Ole boy broke in, man, it all went south

When he dropped the hammer on his .45

And now he's in the pen, twenty-five to life

I hate to say it, but if it'd been me

Well, I'd have said

Read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Yeah, take me downtown, better lock me up

And I'll do my time and raise my right hand

And I'll tell the judge that I'd do it again

If I have to put the law in my hands, yeah

Well, it is 'bout to break

'Cause I know right from wrong, and if you cross that line

Boy, all I gotta say is

All I've gotta say, boy

Just read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Yeah, take me downtown, Barney, lock me up

And I'll do my time and raise my right hand

And I'll tell the judge that I'd do it again

You read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, you better lock me up

And I'll do my time and raise my right hand

And I'll tell the judge I'd do that shit again

Uh, your honor, I can't lie, I'm guilty
