Porter Wagoner - Jasper County Law Lyrics


Porter Wagoner Lyrics

Jasper County Law Lyrics
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
