Read Me My Rights lyrics
by Thomas Rhett
[Intro]
Oh, it's on now
C'mon
[Verse 1]
Somebody better call the law
We done took it outside, we’re about to brawl
Old boy done put his hands on a woman
Where I come from son, the next thing coming is a
Ass whooping in the parking lot
About to drop this fool right in front of the cops
And I ain’t gonna to run
I'm proud of what I done
[Chorus]
Yeah, read me my rights, put me in cuffs
Take me downtown, Barney lock me up
And I’ll do my time and raise my right hand
And I'd tell the judge that I'd do it again
[Verse 2]
Well I heard it through the grapevine
Good daddy and a husband is a-doing time
Said his wife and his kids was in the house
Some old boy broke in, man, it all went south
When he dropped the hammer on his .45
Now he's in the pen; twenty-five to life
I hate to say, but if it'd have been me
Well, I'd have said
[Chorus]
Read me my rights, put me in cuffs
Yeah, take me downtown Barney lock me up
I’ll do my time and raise my right hand
And I'd tell the judge that I'd do it again
[Bridge]
If I have to put the law in my hands, yeah
Well it has time to break
Because I know right from wrong and if you cross that line
Boy all I gotta say is
All I've gotta say, boy
[Chorus]
Is read me my rights, put me in cuffs
You take me downtown Barney lock me up
And I’ll do my time and raise my right hand
And I’ll tell the judge that I’d do it again
Read me my rights, put me in cuffs
Take me downtown, you better lock me up
And I’ll do my time and raise my right hand
And I’ll tell the judge that I'd do that sh*t again
[Outro]
Ughh, your honor, I can't lie
I'm guilty
Ah sh*t
