Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here | |
The Republic's changed a lot in a hundred years | |
And I don't think it's working like you planned | |
Oh Mr. Lincoln we could use a hand | |
I just read the headlines in The Nashville News | |
And I wish I'd made this up but I'm afraid it's true | |
'Cause a man was murdered for his money in the streets | |
He was taking his wife to a nice place to eat | |
When they caught the man he did 23 months of time | |
He pled insanity like they do now all the time | |
Sir what would you have done in 1859 | |
Now if you shoot someone Sir you can get off scot free | |
It's the latest thing Mr. Lincoln can you believe | |
Now they sue the manufacturers of the guns | |
Ain't the law changed a lot since 1861 | |
Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here | |
'Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred years | |
And I don't think it's working out like you planned | |
Hey Mr. Lincoln we sure could use a hand | |
I just heard the news story on the radio | |
They let dangerous men out of prisons now, yes sir I'm afraid it's so | |
'Cause they're overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense | |
(Yeah) And this time, he's killed someone, does that make any sense | |
Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case | |
'Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days | |
Well at least we're right, all we gotta do is tell the truth | |
He said "You're living in the past you romantic fool" | |
I said "You got that right, I lean toward the older ways | |
And there's damn few backwoods lawyers left today" | |
Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here | |
The Republic's changed a lot in a hundred years | |
And I don't think it's working like you planned | |
Oh Mr. Lincoln we could use a hand | |
Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here | |
'Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred years | |
And I don't think it's working out like you planned | |
(Ahh) Mr. Lincoln we sure could use a hand |
