Thomas County Law - Iron & Wine

Thomas County Law’s got a crooked tooth

Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth

The church bell isn’t kidding when it cries for you

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

Thomas County Road takes you where it will

Someone’s singing on the far side of other hills

There’s nowhere safe to bury all the time I’ve killed

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

There’s a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line

You can’t see beyond the trees, they’re too tall and wide

And I never seem to see around my brother’s wife

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

There are castles for kings, there are birds without wings

I could whine 'bout it all, but I won’t

Thomas County Law’s got a crooked tooth

There ain’t a mother with a heart less than black and blue

When they hold 'em to the light, you can see right through

Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancing shoes

I may say I don’t belong here, but I know I do

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
