Chris Garneau - Crook Lyrics

Have you ever met a lovesick cowboy?
I been alone for a long, long time
I'd seen and hustled trouble and grime
Drawn my pistol to stop some crime

I rode quick and kept my hair slick
And boy oh boy did I have to flit
There was a man out West I had to arrest
Til he got me all quiet and tied

I was the law and he was the breach
I had an order and he had a scheme
The two of us together
Hell to the letter
It's all or none
And clever done
Pleasure spun

A crook took a look at me
And oh could he,
Oh he could lay me down
A crook took a look at me and I was read like a book

He kept a room open and free
To doff the sand and pick our fleas
He called it home for him and me
My voice and step served as key
Then he sat heavy on my knee

Call me done and call me dead
He roped my heart and had me bled
Got nothing to defend
Call me loose call me hemmed
He roped my lock and had me bend

I was the law and he was the breach
I had an order and he had a scheme
The two of us together
Hell to the letter
It's all or none
And clever done
And pleasure spun

A crook took a look at me
And oh could he,
Oh he could lay me down
A crook took a look at me and I was read like a book
And he could lay me down
Oh the crook took a look at me and I was read like a book
Yes he took me home and on the floor we left our dress
We made an end
And spoke an oath
He shut the light
I turned the lock

Where you gonna put that pistol huh?
Should I tell you where?
Not there
Lower
Lower
I gotta say you stink like the ranch
But it's okay
I like it
Sweat and grass
So tell me am I the first you catch ?
Don't lie to me now
I can tell when you're lying'
You get this line over your right eye
Jagged

I feel the sun on you
You're burnin'
You're burnin' me up
No one gets me this hot
I swear to God
