Pushing Luck

[Verse 1]
There's no need to label every cotton-pickin' thing
Run, get the rifle, it's comin' up lame
Some call it money, some call it crime
The kids are all fed and this land here's mine

[Verse 2]
Between you and me, I've done nothin' wrong
Broke a law and broke down: same as this song
Find a man who didn't know any more than me
'Bout how to please God or the way to be free

[Chorus]
We've been pushin' luck
Something's bound to give
The gig is up
Tell me how we gonna live

[Verse 3]
There ain't no difference as far as I can see
As some of them folks out hustlin' at me
They have uniforms, I have [paws/flaws?]
Bulletproof vest under overalls

[Chorus]
We've been pushin' luck
Something's bound to give
The gig is up
Tell me how we gonna live

[Verse 4]
The sun's comin' up, I got a dog in my face
The man on the leash says this is his place
Funded by the money they took from you and me
We're payin' these fools to put us on our knees

[Chorus]
We've been pushin' luck
Something's bound to give
The gig is up
Tell me how we gonna live

[Chorus]
Been pushin' luck
Something's bound to give
The gig is up
Tell me how we gonna live
