Lyrics by T Keith 'cept fer some in thebold italics.
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 Lone Pine
Find a tall pine tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the trees for all the hikers to see that
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke 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
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
We got too many gangsters doing 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 set 'em down 'cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke 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
Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
Now, we got Sierra hoodlums and Sierra thieves
Taking stuff off the mountaintops and scarrin' up the trees.
There'll be a time when they get caught doing their dirty deed.
And when they do all they will see is me.
Yup, that's a guarantee 'cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up the boys and draw that hard line
When they're apprehended we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the Lone Pine saloon...
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing,
"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!"
