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
