Written by Jimmy Bowen/Hank Williams, Jr.

	  		A          E                    D 
 
Mr. Lincoln I wish you were here 
A                  E                     D 
The Republics changed alot in a hundred years 
A                E                      D 
I don't think its working like you planned  
A               E                D 
Mr Lincoln we sure could use a hand 
 
Verse: 
D                   A                    G 
I just read the headlines in the Nashville News 
D                   A                    G 
And I wish i made this up but im afraid its true 
              
D               A                            G 
Cause a man was murdered for his money in the street D                       A                  G 
He was takin his wife to a nice place to eat 
           
D                      A                  G 
When they caught the man he did 23 months of time 
                       A                  G 
He plead insanity like they do now all the time                     
 
D                 A               G  
Sir what would you have done in 1859 
               
D                    A                             G 
now if you shoot someone sir you can get off scott free 
D                   A                       G 
its the latest thing mr Lincoln can you believe 
D                      A               G 
Now they sue the manufactures of the guns 
D                  A                 E 
aint the law changed alot since 1861 
 
Repeat chorus 
D                A                G 
I just heard the new story on the radio 
            
D                    A                       G 
they let dangerous men outta prison now yes sir im afraid its so 
                  
D                        A                  G 
cause theyre overcrowded and it was only his fifth offense 
       
                                                     D                          A                         G 
and this time hes killed someone does that make any sense 
            
D                   A                        G 
Now my lawyer called me about a nuisance case 
           
D                  A                           G 
Cause everybody sues over any little thing these days 
       D                                                                              A                        G 
well at least we're right all we gotta do is tell the truth  
                    
D                   A                      G       
he said youre living in the past you romantic fool 
                
D                    A                             G 
i said you got that right i lean toward the older ways 
                 
D                 A                      E 
And theres damn few back woods lawyers left today 
 
repeat chorus 2x
