Thomas County Law

Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth

Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth

The church bell isn't kiddin' when it cries for you

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

Thomas County road takes you where it will

Someone singin' on the far side of other hills

There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

There's a couple ways to cross Thomas county line

You can't see beyond the trees they're too tall and wide

And I never seem to see around my brother's wife

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

There are castles for kings

There are birds without wings

I could whine 'bout it all

But I won't

Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth

There ain't a mother with a heart less than black and blue

When they hold 'em to the light you can see right through

Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancin' shoes

I may say I don't belong here but I know I do

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
