Homer Lee Hunnicut was nothing but a hippy

Walking thru this world without a care
                                                        Bb                                    C  
Then one day, six strapping brave policemen
                                             Bb                                    C  
Held down Homer Lee and cut his hair

Walk the line, and never mind the cost

And don't wonder who them lawmen was protecting

When they nailed the savior to the cross.
