Someone said he stumbled and he fell

Hauled old Billy Dalton off to jail

We don't need no drunks like Billy Dalton

Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree

Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy

Walking thru this world without a care

Then one day, six strapping brave policemen
Bb C
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

'Cause the law is for protection of the people
C F
Rules are rules and any fool can see

We don't need no hairy headed hippies
Dm G G7
Scarin' decent folks like you and me, no siree
C Bb C
So thank your lucky stars you've got protection
Bb C
Walk the line, and never mind the cost

And don't wonder who them lawmen was protecting

When they nailed the savior to the cross.
