Jefferson Starship Law Man Lyrics

Law Man Lyrics

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time

my old man's gun has never been fired

but there's a first time & this could be

this could be the first time



Law man

you know you look to be a lot younger than me and

I'd hate to shoot a baby

you've got a long way to go before you're old & slow

and it could be

it could be a good time if you change your mind

well I'm tired and sweet from making love

and it's just too late

you'll have to wait

bring your business around here in the morning



well I've heard your line

& you've heard mine

& I'm just too tired to take a side

bring your business around here in the morning

Don't you want to be easy look there

let some of the things you see go on by or

you can burn them into your brain go on home

Don't you see the children, they're just like you

they want everything to be fine but they let it slide

and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules



Law breaker you know it could be me

& if you had your way we'd all be down

under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound

& you can see now the old hands won't move around

one way or the other,

fool card brother this could be,

this could be, the first time.
