The Law

from Western Movies by Railtown

/

about

Again, my fascination with gunfighters . . .
I imagine this character to possibly be one and the same as from The Choice - at a different time in his life. He tries to settle down and be a 'good guy' for a change, and the people are afraid of him. He's keeping the peace for them, but still can't find his own.
Wrote it at home alone . . . finished on the 4th of July, 2002.

- Jeffrey Scott Stewart

lyrics

THE LAW

I came to town when I got the word
That the good people who claim this dirt
Needed someone to keep them safe
- A new sheriff to run this place

They really couldn't ask for more . . .
I was the fastest gun they could afford

I'm The Law
Don't you ever forget
Who you're talkin' to . . .
I'm The Law
Show some respect . . .
If you mess with me, you'll lose

I've got a good horse and a steady hand
And I'm doin' my best to defend this badge
I'm only here to protect them now
But men still scatter when I come to town

I get paid to keep the peace
But I still ain't found none for me

I'm The Law
Don't you ever forget
Who you're talkin' to . . .
I'm The Law
Show some respect . . .
If you mess with me, you'll lose

I'm The Law
Don't you ever forget
Who you're talkin' to . . .
I'm The Law
Show some respect . . .
If you mess with me, you'll lose

'Cause I'm The Law

I came to town when I got the word
That the good people who claim this dirt
Needed someone to keep them safe
- A new sheriff to run this place
