Don't Wait Up

The meeting went on
 From dark 'til dawn
 How to defend
 Where and when
 The church went up in flames And nobody knew their names
 All the guilty men
 And all their friends
 Daddy when will justice be done
 He said son you gotta wait and see
 As he packed to leave
 He said don't wait up for me
 He rode in the dead of night
 With only the moon for light
 Pistol by his side
 Lord watch him ride
 Mama can you tell me when
 Will I ever see my daddy again
 She just shook her head
 Get you back to bed
 Daddy when will justice be done
 He said son you gotta wait and see
 As he packed to leave
 He said don't wait up for me
 They caught him near Baton Rouge
 They said boy we got some plans for you
 Find the highest tree
 You'll be flying free
 A postcard in the mail
 Struck just like a nail
 Driving deep
 He's swinging in his sleep
 Daddy when will justice be done
 He said son you gotta wait and see
 As he packed to leave
 He said don't wait up for me
 Up for me
 Up for me
 Up for me
