| 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 |
