The gavel's heavy in my hand, been laying it down hard
Sentimental lies they mark
Another day in San Antone, here in a case
But there's danger out there, waiting in my parking space
I step out my door, sun hitting my face
Don't know it's the last time I walk out of my place
Maximum John, they call me tough
But this life of justice, it ain't always enough
Shots rang out, I got cut down
The law lost a fighter in this Texas town
Danger's out there, it's clear as sea
It's 79, judges ain't as safe as they should be
Right after my death, Director William Hall stood before the halls of power
Telling about the risks that face every hour
Judges, juries, courtrooms at stake
We need protection, no more lives to take
Director Hall said I've seen the threats, the dangers they face
From organized crime to bombs in place
Judges like John can't fall no more
Let's fund the marshals, protect the court
Congress heard, the clock hurts to the courthouse door
We'll guard the law like never before
In 1979, the change came through
JSD was born, a brand new crew
Chief Carl McKee stepped in to lead
To guard the courts and meet the full-time need
To meet the full-time need
Dried after my death, Director William Hall stood before the halls of power
Telling about the risks that face every hour
Judges, juries, courtrooms at stake
We need protection, no more lives to take
Director Hall said I've seen the threats, the dangers they face
From organized crime to bombs in place
Judges like John can't fall no more
Let's fund the marshals, protect the court
Protect the court
Congress heard the cry to the stake
We protect the judges across this land
No more risk, no more lives to take
Judges like John can't fall no more
Let's fund the marshals, protect the court
Congress heard, the clock hurts to the courthouse door
We'll guard the law like never before
In 1979, the change came through
JSD was born, a brand new crew
Chief Carl McKee stepped in to lead
To guard the courts and meet the full-time need
To meet the full-time need
From city courts to D.C. halls
We're watching over judges, protecting them all
John Wood's loss won't be in vain
Now we're riding strong on this judicial protection train
We got JSD, now justice is safe
The marshals stand strong, we won't lose faith
From trial to trial, we'll guard the way
Protecting the law every single day
Chief McKee said, shot
Rang out justice, took a hit
We lost a judge, but we won't quit
From the halls of Congress to the courthouse door
We'll guard the law like never before
In 1979, the change came through
JSD was born, a brand new crew
Chief Carl McKee stepped in to lead
To guard the courts and meet the full-time need
To meet the full-time need
To meet the full-time need
