The Sheriff

Be the law, break the law Be the law, break the law Be the law, break the law Hello, mister FBI man I don't like your hat size Let me buy you a milkshake, baby Cause this Wretched City ain't got no pity Mahogany car sliding down Turn into reverse without looking back I'm the sheriff of this wretched town I'm part of the now, now, now I fucked up plenty of times Plenty of people paid the price I got spurs on my feet North American cowboy of a time long gone F*ck around in ways that I shouldn't There's a way that's right and I got it alright I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, Jim, I tried Many gods in our town Many spirits in the ground I see a brown world through browning down eyes I'm driving to see my nephews Creaking green floorboards I see a brown world through browning eyes Sepia sunsets in these wretched skies I'm driving mahogany dreams I am the sheriff, I am the law, I'm a bit above the law I'm not corrupt but I'm practical I like telling federal agents to f*ck off Cause this is my land, these are my men, this is my jam Mahogany ride and my cowboy hat Sweet denim and the burden of age I'm older than the most of them My wife nags me every day But I'm the sheriff of this Wretched City I maintain the balance between youth and getting greedy Days riding with my partner echo in the distance I'm smoking a joint with him on the merry-go-round And I'm crooked, and I'm right, I'm balanced, I'm cerebral I've got my shit going on but watch me turn into reverse and drive on No signal on, no signal on, no signal on, no signal on Be the law, I am the law Be the law, I am the law
