Georgia Law Man Songtext
von Poor Man's Poison

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"
