Georgia Law Man
Poor Mans Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He said "Georgia law man,
He aint taking whats mine" and I
Know it came a little too soon, my dear.
Cause hes been fighting his way through the southern states
With a bottle of whiskey and a few mistakes
And then fell right into love with a girl named Grace.
He said "Well I died today when you took my breath away
With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face, and I'd find a way
To promise you forever even if forever
Means I'm gunna have to sell my soul today".
So they rode together just a raising Cain
Cheatin death outta them poker games
And then knockin out the back door on the back way out of town.
Well the marshals boys never far behind
And then West Virginia had on the horizon.
He thought it best to let her know right now.
He said "we could have died today
But I loved you all the way
And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free
And I'd find a way to promise you forever even if
Forever means dying right here with you next to me."
So when hell came down on that county line
And all they could remember was the Oklahoma sunshine
She looked at him and he looked away
He said "I heard West Virginia looks just like heaven
And right here's about as close as were getting and I
I dont think were going to win this one today."
We're gunna die today
But I've loved you all the way
And I'd go right down to hell just to set you free
And I'd find a way to promise you forever even if
Forever means dying right here with you next to me.

"And high noon came a little too soon that day"
"Knockin on the bank on the back way out of town"
"With the marshal's boys never far behind
And then West Virginia out on the horizon"
