thomas county law

Iron & Wine

Thomas County Law s got a crooked tooth
Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth
The church bell isn t kidding when it cries for you
Nobody looks away when the Sun goes down

Thomas County Road takes you where it will
Someone s singing on the far side of other hills
There s nowhere safe to bury all the time I ve killed
Nobody looks away when the Sun goes down

There s a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line
You can t see beyond the trees, they re too tall and wide
And I never seem to see around my brother s wife
Nobody looks away when the Sun goes down

There are castles for kings, there are birds without wings
I could whine bout it all, but I won t

Thomas County Law s got a crooked tooth
There ain t a mother with a heart less than black and blue
When they hold em to the light, you can see right through
Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancing shoes
I may say I don t belong here, but I know I do

Nobody looks away when the Sun goes down
Nobody looks away when the Sun goes down
