Living With The Law Lyrics
The song Living With The Law is performed by Chris Whitley in the album named Living With the Law in the year 1991 .
Send Living With The Law Ringtone to your Cell
Brother runnin' powder money
Daddy's somewhere on a drunk
In the hours, after washing
I do my dreaming with a gun
Well, I come down from the country
Find a lesson in the draw
There ain't no secrets in the city
It's hard living with the law
They got machines, mama, I can't figure
And they got a romance made for doing time
Send me out, child, running outside
Out along a world of crime
Gonna swing my scythe, got a hand upon the handle
Gonna shade my children ways I understand
Milk the trigger, kill the hunger
Staring down this broken land
So fetch on up your greasy apron
Spread your lover in the straw
Hear me, baby, I'm nearly crazy
It's hard living with the law
Hard living with the law
