Lyrics

Bend the Law
Written by Kenny Ray Horton and Roger Brown

Verse 1
Seven girl from Cincinnatti
In a five speed pick-up truck
Three of them are looking? for a sugar-daddy
And one?ll be mine with any luck
I spend my night linin? up on the eight ball
With a six-pack strapped to my side
In four days I?ll show up in Montego
Stick out my thumb, gonna hitch a ride

Chorus
But I ain?t hurtin? nobody
Least ways best as I recall
Havin? fun that ain?t illegal
And I ain?t bad at all
Sometimes a man?s just
Gotta bend the law

Verse 2
Sweet Morine was headed for Fresno
In her boots and her tight blue jeans
Oh Lord, she loved to drink Long Island?s
And she kind of took a likin? to me
We went all the way pushin? the red line
Takin? corners on two wheels
`But when that sun found me in the morning?
I was sleepin? alone in a cotton field

Chorus

Verse 3
Now it?s just me out on the highway
Poundin? those old white lines
I?m throwin? rocks at the big yellow road signs
Ain?t got a ride, ain?t got a dime
All my trials and tribulations
Ain?t nothing? get wound up about
Cause all these messes I get me into
I know damn well they?ll all work out

Chorus
