Georgia Law Man

They caught hell down on that county line He said, "Georgia law man, you ain't takin' what's mine" And high noon came a little too soon that day 'Cause he's been fighting his way through the southern states With a bottle of whiskey and a few mistakes And then fell right into love with a girl named Grace He said, "Well, I died today when you took my breath away With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face And I'd find a way to promise you forever Even if forever means I'm gonna have to sell my soul today" So they rode together just a-raising Cain Cheatin' death out of them poker games And then knockin' on the bank on the back way out of town Well, the marshal's boy's never far behind And then West Virginia out on the horizon He thought it best to let her know right now He said, "We could've died today, but I loved you all the way And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free And I'd find a way to promise you forever Even if forever means dying right here with you next to me" Oh-oh-oh, oh I said, "Oh, oh, oh" So when hell came down on that county line And all they could remember was the Oklahoma sunshine She looked at him, and he looked away He said, "I heard West Virginia looks just like heaven And right here's about as close as we're getting And I, I don't think we're going to win this one today" We're gonna die today, but I loved you all the way And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free And I'd find a way to promise you forever Even if forever means dying right here with you next to me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh I said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh"
