Jasper County Law Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

You know things look a whole lot different when you're a kid a growin' up 

Than they look when you become about 21 

Or at least they did for me in the Jasper County law 

Daddy died when I was a baby mama done her best to raise me 

To be the kinda man my daddy was 

My daddy was a hero mama always said so daddy died defending the Jasper County law 

The Jasper County law was the law my daddy stood for 

The Jasper County law was the law he lived and died for 

Daddy was a brave man he stood up proud and tall 

Daddy died a hero for the Jasper County law 

I often thought of leavin' mama was the only reason I stayed in Jasper County at all 

But I longed for excitement and I found delightment 

In making lots of trouble for the Jasper County law 

Well I quit my troublemakin' cause mama's heart was breakin' 

She paid for all the trouble that I caused 

I know I should've had more respect for her and dad 

And the things my daddy stood for with the Jasper County law 

The Jasper County law was the law my daddy stood for 

The Jasper County law was the law he lived and died for 

Now I want to make up for all the time I've lost 

I want to be a part of the Jasper County law 

Yes I want to justify the troubles that I've caused 

I want to be a service to the Jasper County law
