Justice Joe

[Verse] In the shadows of the courthouse, where the crows don't dare to sing, Stands a man named Justice Joe, who's known for one dark thing. With a Bible in his left hand, and a rifle in his right, He metes out his kind of justice in the dead of night. [Verse 2] Folks whisper 'bout his legend when the moon is hanging low, Old tales of retribution 'bout the ghostly Justice Joe. He was wronged by desperate outlaws, family torn apart, Now he wanders these dark backroads with vengeance in his heart. [Chorus] Justice Joe, Justice Joe, in the night he walks alone, Deliverin' his own sentence with a heart cold as stone. Justice Joe, Justice Joe, you can hear his lonesome moan, When shadows fall and darkness crawls, he’s got a score to atone. [Verse 3] No one's safe from judgement, when they see that shadowed frame, He don’t heed no lawman's orders, plays a deadly, twisted game. His eyes as dark as midnight skies, his soul a bruised and battered scar, And if you find yourself on his list, you won’t get very far. [Verse 4] In the wind you hear him whisper, like the hiss of rattlesnakes, Justice Joe don’t leave survivors, only sorrow in his wake. A town left in fear’s embrace, they pray for morning's light, But Justice Joe will haunt them still till he’s made all wrongs right. [Chorus] Justice Joe, Justice Joe, in the night he walks alone, Deliverin’ his own sentence with a heart cold as stone. Justice Joe, Justice Joe, you can hear his lonesome moan, When shadows fall and darkness crawls, he’s got a score to atone.
