Southern Justice Lyrics - Travis Tritt

He was born in the big iron city 

Deep in the heart of Dixie, yes he was now 

Raised on the good Book 

Taught to take a good look at what's going on 

His daddy was Birmingham lawman 

A servant of the people through and through 

They say blood is thicker than water 

So the boy got a badge and a suit of blue 

He was long on southern justice 

Practiced his law out on the street 

Drew the line for the criminal mind to see 

Dedicated to keep God's children free

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

There are two sides to every big city 

And he walked on the side that wasn't pretty 

A solitary ranger 

He had to deal with the danger 'round every turn 

Every day was a tightrope of decision 

Between a forty-four and a heart of gold 

Some of those hard case confrontations 

Would cut him like a switch-blade to his soul 

He was long on southern justice 

Practiced his law out on the street 

Drew the line for the criminal mind to see 

Dedicated to keep God's children free

Late one night down on Crack Street Alley 

He walked up on a bad deal goin' down 

He knew what he'd done 

When he saw that shotgun swing around 

He drew then froze in hesitation 

When he saw that fourteen year old face 

Then the fire from that shotgun barrel 

Blew all his burdens away 

Blew his burdens away 

He was long on southern justice 

Practiced his law out on the street 

Drew the line for the criminal mind to see 

Dedicated to keep God's children free 

He was long on southern justice 

Practiced his law out on the street 

Drew the line for the criminal mind to see 

Dedicated to keep God's children free 

Dedicated to keep God's children free 

Dedicated to keep God's children free
