[Verse 1]

Somebody better call the law

We done took it outside we’re about to brawl

Ol’ boy done put his hands on a woman

Where I come from, son, the next thing comin’ is a

Ass whoopin’ in the parkin’ lot

'Bout to drop this fool right in front of the cops

And I ain't gonna run

Proud of what I done


[Chorus]

Yeah, read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, Barney lock me up

I’ll do my time and raise my right hand

I’ll tell the judge, I’d do it again

What's up Colorado!!?


[Verse 2]

Well, I heard it through the grapevine

Good daddy and a husband is a doin’ time

Said his wife and his kids was in the house

Ol' boy broke in man it all went south

When he dropped the hammer on his forty-five

Now he’s in the pen twenty-five to life

Hate to say it, but if it'd been me

I’d say


[Chorus]

Read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, Barney lock me up

And I’ll do my time, raise my right hand

And I’ll tell the judge I’d do it again


[Bridge]

If I have to put the law in my hands

Yeah, then it's bound to break

'Cause I know right from wrong and if you cross that line

Boy, all I gotta say is

All I gotta say Red Rocks is


[Chorus]

Read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, better lock me up

I’ll do my time raise my right hand

I’ll tell the judge, that I’d do it again

Come on

Read me my rights, put me in cuffs

Take me downtown, buddy lock me up

And I'll do my time raise my right hand

And I'll tell the judge I'd do that shit again
