Strong Arm Of The Law
Aaron Watson

(*Aaron Watson, Neal Lowry)



His mother begged him to be a cattleman*

But he chose to wear the star his daddy wore

God blessed him with a sharp eye and a quick hand

Quicker than the man who shot his daddy to the floor

Still she prayed and she pleaded

But ranch work lacked the vengeance he needed

He was cursed on his daddy’s dying day

When a shot to the back laid him in six feet in a grave


[Chorus:]


And he wears a star on his vest

The only thing between a bullet and the heart in his chest

He’ll be a ranger till he takes his last draw

He was born with the strong arm of the law


He wore a Colt 45 on his hip

One notch short on the ivory grip

Searching for the outlaw that broke his momma’s heart

Riding through the badlands from daylight to dark


In a dirty back water border town

Where the outlaw thought he could not be found

He looked like he’d seen a ghost when he saw the ranger’s face

A legacy to the lawman he sent to his resting-place


[Chorus:]


The outlaw had no place to run

So he turned to the trigger on his gun

As the smoke cleared blood stained the dusty street

The outlaw lay dying at the ranger’s feet


He sat in the saddle and shook his head

His gun still hot and his father still dead

As the sun set on the day he’d waited so long for

He saw justice belongs to the law but vengeance is the Lord’s
