Earthly Justice
[Verse 1]
Drinkin' black coffee from a styrofoam cup, he lays a quarter on the box
He says "I like the way he sings and I like to hear him play, I just don't wanna hear him talk"
And he's sittin' in the corner of the Blue Spruce Bar, with a white peace-flag t-shirt
He's got his sleeves rolled up and he's a-waitin' for the man that put his name in the dirt

[Pre-Chorus]
He says "Wait, wait a minute
"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in it"
He says "Don't, don't you do it
"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though it"

[Chorus]
And if earthly justice just don't get them in the end
There's always a heavenly trial on its way
And if the bank is empty and there just ain't no money to spend
At least you still got something to say

[Verse 2]
And he's talkin' to his family through the holes in the glass, he says that he's a changed man
He says "I learned a thing or two, like when to start new, and a fire don't need a fan"
Now he's pushin' broom at the valley highschool, he's keepin' it all in the closet
The Judge, he said, "So you better keep your lid on, that seems to be just what caused it"
[Pre-Chorus]
He says "Wait, wait a minute
"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in it"
He says "Don't, don't you do it
"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though it"

[Chorus]
And if earthly justice just don't get them in the end
There's always a heavenly trial on its way
And if the bank is empty and there just ain't no money to spend
At least you still got something to say

[Chorus]
And if earthly justice just don't get them in the end
There's always a heavenly trial on its way
And if the bank is empty and there just ain't no money to spend
At least you still got something to say
I said, at least you still got something to say
