If the Law Don't Want You |
| I love to see them straw dogs 'round my door |
| Come sneaking 'round my skirt tail looking for more |
| If you ain’t running from the past |
| You ain’t making my heart beat fast |
| You ain’t chugging your paycheck |
| You ain’t hugging on my neck |
| Well, I’ve been looking for trouble from the git |
| Them cowboys back where I come from won’t quit |
| Cutting up tires on an oyster shell |
| Siren screaming and he’s running like hell |
| Momma’s on the front porch staring him down |
| Ladies at the beauty shop coming unwound |
| If the law don’t want you, neither do I |
| I ain’t got no time to waste my shine |
| On a puppet with a clip-on tie |
| If the law don’t want you, neither do I |
| I hired that boy to cut my grass |
| Nailed down a shingle but it couldn’t get past |
| Staring at the bottom of his low-slung pants |
| Says he’s gonna take me to the big buck dance |
| If the law don’t want you, neither do I |
| I used to run wild down in Mexico |
| Hair jacked up and necklines plunging low |
| Some snake hip shirt rip giving me lip |
| Rifling my purse and stealing my tips |
| There’s something 'bout a man can affect that lean |
| Keeping his hat all yanked down mean |
| If the law don’t want you, neither do I |
| Play born to lose and you light my fuse |
| I’m a sucker for a bald-faced lie |
