Read Me My Rights Songtext
von Brantley Gilbert

It′s on now

Come on

Somebody better call the law
We done took it outside, we're about to brawl
Old boy done put his hands on a woman
Where I come from son, the next thing comin′ is a
Ass whoopin' in the parkin' lot
About to drop this fool right in front of the cops
And I ain′t goin′ to run
I'm proud of what I done

Yeah, read me my rights, put me in cuffs
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


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
Some old boy broke in, man it all went south
When he dropped the hammer on his .45
Now he′s in the pen', 25 to life
I hate to say, but if it'd have been me
Well, I′d have said

Read me my rights, put me in cuffs
Yeah, take me downtown, Barney lock me up
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 has time 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

Is read me my rights, put me in cuffs
Take me downtown, Barney lock me up (lock me up)
I'll do my time and raise my right hand
And I′ll tell the judge that I'd do it again

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 that I′d do that shit again

Your honor, I can't lie, I′m guilty
Aah, sh-
