Lyrics
Billy Dalton staggered on the sidewalk
Someone said he stumbled and he fell
Six squad cars came screaming 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
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree
Homer Lee Hunnicutt was nothing but a hippie
Walking through this world without a care
Then one day six strapping brave policemen
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 hippie
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree
So thank your lucky stars you got protection
Walk the line and never mind the cost
Don't wonder who them lawmen were protecting
When they nailed the savior to the cross
'Cause the law is for protection of the people
Rules are rules and any fool can see
We don't need no riddle speaking prophet
Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree
