Lawman - Jefferson Starship

Law man

Well, I’m afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time

You know my old man’s gun has never been fired

But there’s a first time and this could be

This could be the first time

Law man

Well, 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 and 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

And you’ve heard mine

And 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

Can’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 man

You know it could be me

And if you had your way we’d all be down

Under the face of a clock that’s just too old to be wound

And 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

The first time
