lyrics

I ain't running, like a robber from a store
I don't say my prayers before bedtime anymore
I'm getting my sleep, with both eyes well shut
I know the law is coming, and I wish them luck

No field to plow, no savings to be found
Oh God, my mother, rest her soul, she is six feet underground
When I say, "I'm a rambler," you'll know that it's no bluff
I know the law is coming, and I wish them luck

I had a woman, she helped me to pour my gin
She drove the car that I got away in
That sweet gal, she was a match waiting to be struck
I know the law is coming, and I wish them luck

I ain't running, like a robber from a store
I don't say my prayers before bedtime anymore
I'm getting my sleep, with both eyes well shut
I know the law is coming, and I wish them luck
