Sheriff

[Verse 1] He wore the dust like an old regret Boots stitched tight with the weight of debt His badge shone dim in the dying sun A sheriff's work ain't ever done [soft guitar strum Pause for breath] [Prechorus] But a shadow lingers where the daylight bends Every outlaw's face feels like an old friend's [Chorus] Oh Sheriff Who do you answer to? The law or the ghosts chasing after you? Woah-oh The town don't see the cracks But a man can't outrun what keeps pullin' him back [Verse 2] He drank his coffee black But it burned like guilt Every sip another stone in the life he'd built A wife once whispered "Come lay down your star " But peace don't grow where the scars still are [brushed drums enter softly Bass hums low] [Prechorus] And the train keeps calling Steam and steel But the past ain't something you can ever repeal [Chorus] Oh Sheriff Who do you answer to? The law or the ghosts chasing after you? Woah-oh The town don't see the cracks But a man can't outrun what keeps pullin' him back
