Lyrics
Theres an Old Sheriff in Town 2016 Robert George Some said Joes too old to be a lawman When he got elected in 04 Then some young punks rolled in off the freeway And they shot up Freddys liquor store Now those punksre sorry that they messed with him Two guys ended up in jail, one went straight to hell And Joes been our sheriff ever since Yeah, word soon got around That good ole boy stands his ground Thugs n outlaws aint got a chance, Theyre takin their lives in their hands Cos theres an old sheriff in town Well, hes got a slight limp in his right leg From some shrapnel back in Vietnam Rescued his lieutenant under heavy fire It was do or die and death be damned He takes Maalox in his tea and whisky in his Tang And he stood there in the rain, last month out on Main Facin down a meth head biker gang Yeah, word soon got around That good ole boy stands his ground Crooks and gangsters aint got a chance, Theyre takin their lives in their hands Cos theres an old sheriff in town Well, they say hes got a pistol That aint standard police issue Its ammo shatters bone like crystal And it tears up skin like tissue Yeah, word soon got around That good ole boy stands his ground Thugs n outlaws aint got a chance, Theyre takin their lives in their hands Cos theres an old sheriff in town Theres a small town on the southern borderline And they say its full of drugs n crime So the Fedsre sendin someone diffrent in And his older sisters twice as tough as him Now, theres an old sheriff in town
