LIVING WITH THE LAW

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,
I find a lesson in the draw.
Ain't no secret in the city
It's hard living with the law.

They got machines, mama, I can't figure,
They got romance made for doing time.
Send me out child, moving outside
Out along a world of crime

Got my scythe, got a hand upon the handle,
Gonna show 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
