Law Man Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time 

my old man's gun has never been fired 

but there's a first time & this could be 

this could be the first time 

Law man 

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 & 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 

& you've heard mine 

& 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 

Don'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 breaker you know it could be me 

& if you had your way we'd all be down 

under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound 

& 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.
