I love to see them straw dogs 'round my door,
             D                                              Am7                                                    G  
Come sneaking 'round my skirt tail looking for more,
                  D                                 Am7  
If you ain't running from the past,

You ain't chugging your paycheck,

You ain't hugging on my neck.

Well, I've been looking for trouble from the git,

Them cowboys back where I come from won't quit,
D                                                                            Am7  
Cutting up tires on an oyster shell,
Am7  
Siren screaming and he's running like hell,
F  
Momma's on the front porch staring him down,
D  
Ladies at the beauty shop coming unwound.
                  G                      D                                                    G  
If the law don't want you, neither do I,

On a puppet with a clip-on tie,

If the law don't want you, neither do I.
     F  
I hired that boy to cut my grass,
G  
Nailed down a shingle but it couldn't get past,
F  
Staring at the bottom of his low-slung pants,
D  
Says he's gonna take me to the big buck dance,
                  G                                    D                                      G  
If the law don't want you, neither do I.

Hair jacked up and necklines plunging low,
             D  
Some snake hip shirt rip giving me lip,
Am7  
Rifling my purse and stealing my tips,
                     F  
There's something 'bout a man can affect that lean,
D  
Keeping his hat all yanked down mean.

If the law don't want you, neither do I,

Play born to lose and you light my fuse,

I'm a sucker for a bald-faced lie,
