Hank Williams Jr. - Mr. Lincoln lyrics

Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here.
The Republic´s changed a lot in a hundred yeahrs.
And I do not think it is 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 would made this up but I am afraid it is 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´ve done in 1859?
Now if you shoot someone, Sir, you can get off scott-free.
It is the latest thing, Mr. Lincoln, can you believe?
Now they sue the manufacturers of the gun.
Aint the law changed a lot since 1861?

Mr. Lincoln, I wish you were here.
´Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred yeahrs.
And I do not think it is 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 am afraid it is so.
´Cause they are overcrowded & it was only his 5th offense.
This time, he has 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 are right.
All we´ve got to do is tell the truth.
He said "You are living in the past you romantic fool."
I said, "You got that right. I lean toward the older ways.
And theres damn few backwoods lawyers left these days."

Mr Lincoln, I wish you were here.
The Republic´s changed a lot in a hundred yeahrs.
And I do not think it is working like you planned.
Hey, Mr. Lincoln, we sure could use a hand.

Mr. Lincoln, please, could you come here?
´Cause things have changed a lot in a hundred yeahrs.
And I do not think it is working out like you planned.
Mr. Lincoln, we sure could use a hand.
