Law Dogs

Well there once was a man who lived on a hill If you listen closely you can hear him still. Playing the blues like he sold his soul He sang about life and how it took its toll Well sing the songs about laughter Down from the old town hall Sing a song for the wise ones And the ones who mean nothing at all Drink a glass with the tall one Screaming and drift away, amen Raise a stone at the law dog He’s a wild one Run the gambling man Drink tonight. No rest for me Place your bet with a slinging gun Drink tonight. No rest for me Well it’s aces and dimes to the morning sun Drink tonight. No rest for me Drink the night away… today Drink tonight, yeah we gonna drink tonight. No rest for me He’s on the run from the law on his trail He does what he can to get them off his tail Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run He’s dying from the heat of the mid-day sun With guns drawn in both of his hands The bullets started swinging, they were going fast Took a shot to the middle of his chest Not even knowing this day was his last Drink tonight. No rest for me Place your bet with a slinging gun Drink tonight. No rest for me Well it’s aces and dimes to the morning sun Drink tonight. No rest for me Drink the night away… today Drink tonight, yeah we gonna drink tonight No rest for me
