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
Fuck 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 fuck 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
Be the law, break the law
Be the law, break the law
