[Bm] As a judge in the city, _ _ he goes to work every day. _ _
He spends his life in the courthouse, _ _ keeps his perspective that way. _ _ _
[E] _ I respect his decision, _ _ he's got a lot on his mind. _
[A] _ He's a little heavy on the gavel, _ _ but he's light on the mind. _
_ [G] _ One day there was a minstrel, _ he came to town on a charge, _
_ _ that he blew someone's ears off.
_ _ Because his amp was too large, and the song [D] he was [Bm] singing
_ _ _ was not for love [D] but for [Bm] cash.
_ _ When the [G] judge [D] weighed the [Bm] charge, _ he _ _ [A] fingered his [Bm] mustache. _ _ _ _

_ The [Bm] jailhouse was empty, _ _
[G] _ all the [Bm] criminals were gone. _
[G] _ The gate [Bm] was left wide open, _
[G] _ in [Bm] a bucket of fun. _ _
_ [A] _ [E] _ They were eating grass in the work yard, [A] _ [E] _ when the warden walked in.
[A] _ _ [E] He picked the racket from the prison bar, _ he said to him up at wind,
_ [A] _ _ [G] this youthful fear would be stupid.
_ [A] _ _ [G] See how they've got him right here, [A] _ _ [G] why not just lock the gates and keep them?
[A] _ _ [G] _ With intimidation and fear, the warden pulled [Bm] the trigger, _ _
[G] and those fear hit the [Bm] ground. _ _
[G] He said nobody will know [Bm] the difference, _ _ [G] and he pulled the [Bm] ground. _ _ _

_ [G] _ [A] Still [Bm] crying in the city, [G] _ _ [Bm] sitting the cop on the beat. _
_ [G] I [Bm] don't know if I can stop it, _ [G] I [Bm] feel like meat on the street. _
_ [G] _ _ [Em] They beat my car like a target, _ _ I keep my order from food.
[A] _ _ [E] See why some kid blows my head off, _ while I play by [Em] the rule.
[A] _ _ [G] That's why I'm doing it my [A] way, _ [G] I took the law in my own hand.
_ And here I am in the [A] alleyway, _ [G] a lot of cash in my pants,
I can pay [Bm] five ten-year-olds. _
He [G] says he looks up [Bm] to me, _ _ [G] he's still crying [Bm] in the city, _ _ _
[G] but it's good to be [Bm] me. _ _ _

Well, [B] I keep getting younger, _ _ my life's been funny that way. _ _ _
[A] Before [B] I ever learned how to talk, _ _ [A] I [Bm] forgot what to [B] say. _ _
_ [E] _ Sass back to my mommy, _ _ _ sass back to the teacher. _
_ Start [B] throwing at Bible school, _ [E] but giving a finger to the preacher. _
_ [G] Yeah, I grew up to be a fireman, [A] _ put out every fire in town, _
_ put out everything smoking. _
_ But when I put the hose down, the judge sent me [Bm] to prison.
_ _ He gave me life [B] without parole.
_ _ _ [G] Wish I never [Bm] put the hose down, _ _ wish I never got _ old. _ _ _
