Lyrics Dale Watson

Dale Watson

Justice For All

He sat there in his chair

Her arms around him tight.

You can't blame the lady

The lady she is blind

She said it's wrong to kill this man

Even if he's killed your child

Revenge is mine, said the Lord

Well the Lord's one lucky guy

Strike a blow for justice

Hear the gavel fall

Pray for the innocent

Justice for all

An eye for an eye

Would leave the whole world blind

Forgiveness is the way

But I can't forgive his crime

And if I had the chance

In truth I'd have to say

I'd gun that bastard down

With a smile on my face

Strike a blow for justice

Hear the gavel fall

Pray for the innocent

Justice for all

Don't do as I do

A wiser man would say

But on a journey of revenge

Be sure to dig two graves

And when they throw us in 'em

I hope the lady finally sees

Bears witness to the wrong and right

And knows which one I'll be

Strike a blow for justice

Hear the gavel fall

Pray for the innocent

Justice for all

Strike a blow for justice

Hear the gavel fall
