[Verse 1]
How many times did you call me and I knew it was late
I left everybody but I never went straight
I don't claim to be guilty, but I do understand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

[Verse 2]
Now my heart's like a blister from doin' what I do
If the moon has a sister, it's got to be you
I'm gonna miss you forever, though it's not what I planned
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

[Verse 3]
Now the deal has been dirty since dirty began
I'm not asking for mercy, not from the man
You just don't ask for mercy while you're still on the stand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

[Bridge]
I don't claim to be guilty
Guilty's too grand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
[Verse 4]
That's all I can say, baby, that's all I can say
It wasn't for nothing that they put me away
I fell with my angel down the chain of command
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
