Living With the Law Lyrics


Brother runnin' powder money
Daddy's somewhere on a drunk
In the hours, after washing
I do my dreaming with a gunWell, I come down from the country
Find a lesson in the draw
There ain't no secrets in the city
It's hard living with the lawThey got machines, mama, I can't figure
And they got a romance made for doing time
Send me out, child, running outside
Out along a world of crimeGonna swing my scythe, got a hand upon the handle
Gonna shade my children ways I understand
Milk the trigger, kill the hunger
Staring down this broken land

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

A man of rare poetic honesty, singer-songwriter Chris Whitley (1960-2005) maintained a resolute musical integrity throughout his career. His 12 albums, ranging from raw-boned folk-rock to lush electro-blues, had the thread of intense emotion and constant invention running through them. Whitley was born in Houston, Texas. Though relatively unknown to the mainstream, he worked with many top named musicians throughout his career.
