Sheriff Don't Shoot My Man

Country song I wrote. Would someone help me come up with a melody? I wrote it about loving and losing the outlaw who broke my heart.

I am in love with the man who hates the law indeed

Running from the cops he drives at full speed

He’s hitting the gas on the overpass

Not apologizing for testing the judicial system

He’s got three warrants out for his impending arrest

He’s not guilty cause he will never confess

Three warrants is worse than one but better than five

My man screams, “You aint taking me alive.”

Sheriff he is driving from the law as fast as he can

I am begging as a woman don’t shoot my man

Don’t shoot my man

Let him go

I beg you as a woman I love him so

Don’t shoot my man

Sheriff my man’s troubles with the system are tearing me apart

I know he stolen many things including my heart

I know I am a crazy lass but my man has some serious class

When he stole that scarf it was for my birthday

Nobody likes him including my Pa

Cause he’s no good and on the run from the law

The nice guys say he’s my jailbird boyfriend

But he’s technically a fugitive on the mend

Sheriff he is driving from the law as fast as he can

I am begging as a woman don’t shoot my man

Don’t shoot my man

Let him go

I beg you as a woman I love him so

Don’t shoot my man

I know this has turned into more than a race

It’s the Indie 500 of the High Speed Chase

On TV there he is at 6 o’clock, law can’t get him, tick tock

America’s Most Wanted is Showing his best photo too

I know that this got off to a bad start

So what he robbed a bank? He’s got a good heart

There are annoying people in this world get a clue

So write them a parking ticket like you usually do

Sheriff he is driving from the law as fast as he can

I am begging as a woman don’t shoot my man

Don’t shoot my man

Let him go

I beg you as a woman I love him so

Don’t shoot my man

Bridge

(Talk)

Baby, you are on America’s Most Wanted

You are taunting the authorities on facebook

And then oh no, as you are driving you are screaming my name?

Not Brandine who claims you fathered her child.

The one from the salon claiming to be abducted by aliens

You are screaming, “April! I love you!”

Sheriff he is driving from the law as fast as he can

I am begging as a woman don’t shoot my man

Don’t shoot my man

Let him go

I beg you as a woman I love him so

Don’t shoot my man
