Living With The Law lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Living With The Law lyrics Living with the Law Chris Whitley 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 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 song lyrics
