LAYING DOWN THE LAW
[Chorus]
When I'm in town, you know that it is going down
Walking through the streets all I see is thiefs, yeah
Windows closing, everybody scared now
Who is this, from the side, they stepping out
It’s been a minute, but who are they repping now
Guess I’m in it, time to draw the revolver
Cause this a shootout, I hope not for a draw
Cause I’m the sheriff and I’m laying down the law

[Verse 1]
See this town here, is my domain
Most folks stay up in their own lane
Simple town yeah, there is not much to say
Criminals don’t dare to rob the bank
So lets giddy up, time to be up on the job
Too much going on, guess we gonna have to divvy up now
Time to go to the saloon
Got some bar fights that need diffused
On the banjo play them blues
On the jukebox yeah they got my tunes
Time to clock back in
Time for the duel
Guess it’s ‘bout high noon
Guess it’s time for the standoff
[Chorus]
When I'm in town, you know that it is going down
Walking through the streets all I see is thiefs, yeah
Windows closing, everybody scared now
Who is this, from the side, they stepping out
It’s been a minute, but who are they repping now
Guess I’m in it, time to draw the revolver
Cause this a shootout, I hope not for a draw
Cause I’m the sheriff and I’m laying down the law

[Verse 2]
Flip backwards, I walk five paces
Hoping I'm on God's good graces
Am I up for this challenge I'm facing?
Affairs in order, just in case then
He trembling, staring eye to eye with my new friend
Walk the five paces then you’re dead

[Chorus]
When I'm in town, you know that it is going down
Walking through the streets all I see is thiefs, yeah
Windows closing, everybody scared now
Who is this, from the side, they stepping out
It’s been a minute, but who are they repping now
Guess I’m in it, time to draw the revolver
Cause this a shootout, I hope not for a draw
Cause I’m the sheriff and I’m laying down the law
