Lawman's Daughter Lyrics

I think times are changing momma
Break my spirit and kill my pride
She might be the lawman's daughter
But I'm gonna make that girl my bride
I said, "Son I'm sorry but that can't happen"
Our kind just don't mix with them
You might love the lawman's daughter
But your family's filled with wanted men

I said, "Oh, how bad could it be?"
For a law filled girl to love a man like me
Chasing ten car trains and whiskey dames don't mean a thing
Just as long as I got her with me

You know that sheriffs been looking for you
He knows y'all been robbing trains
If he sees you with his daughter
He won't stop 'til he sees you hang
Christian hearts don't feed no families
Guns and trains mean moneys good
Tell that sheriffs that's been looking for me
Hang me up, I wish you would

I said, "Oh, how bad could it be?"
For a law filled girl to love a man like me
Chasing ten car trains and whiskey dames don't mean a thing
Just as long as I got her with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
