You know things look
a whole lot different
when you're a kid growing up
Than they look when you become about 21
Or at least they did for me
and the Jasper County Law
Daddy died when I was a baby
Mama done her best to raise me
To be the kind of 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 leaving,
Mama was the only reason
I stayed in Jasper County at all.
But I longed for excitement,
and I found delight in
mak ing lots of trouble
for the Jasper County law.
Well, I quit my trouble making,
cause Mama's heart was breaking.
She paid for all the trouble that I caused
I know I should have had more
respect for her and dad
And the things my daddy stood for
were the Jasper County Law
The Jasper County Law
was the law my daddy stood for
The Jasper County Law,
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 of service
to the Jasper County Law
