Down by Law

[Chorus]

Down by law all my life

Born in Circle Valley where they don't think twice

Yeah, everyone you know makes an outlaw's living

But these kinds of folks are so kind, they ain't giving

[Verse 1]

Ridin' up to San Juan county, I'm bound to cross the line

I can't rightly say just what we'll find

Windin' down the rustler's routes just as quiet as you please

Mama, she won't mind these twenty G's

[Chorus]

Down by law all my life

Born in Circle Valley where you don't think twice

Yeah, everyone you know makes an outlaw's living

But these kinds of folks arе so kind, they ain't giving

[Verse 2]

Here I go to South Pass city, it's comin' up thе rear

Just who's in pursuit ain't exactly clear

Papers say they had us, boy, you know that's a lie

Tell me how I looked at ol' run line

[Chorus]

Down by law all my life

Born in Circle Valley where you don't think twice

Yeah, everyone you know makes an outlaw's living

But these kinds of folks are so kind, they ain't giving

[Bridge]

Progress almost had me

At Pagosa, I'da surrendered gladly

But for reasons I can't explain

Aw, somehow at Durango, I got away

[Verse 3]

It's 5 a.m. in San Vicente, Lord knows what time for you

Just because you're ready, son, that don't make it true

If I could only reach that hole up there in the wall

I may not have to live this down by law

[Chorus]

Down by law all my life

Born in Circle Valley where you don't think twice

Yeah, everyone you know makes an outlaw's living

But these kinds of folks are so kind, they ain't giving

Down by law all my life

Born in Circle Valley where you don't think twice

Yeah, everyone you know makes an outlaw's living

But these kinds of folks are so kind, they ain't giving
