Walkin through his world without a care

Then one day six strapping brave policemen

Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree

So thank your lucky stars you got protection

Walk the line nad nevermind the cost

Don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin

When they nailed the savior to the cross

Scaring decent folks like you and me, no siree
