[Verse 1]
They came up off the road
To the settlers' gate
Took sacks of grain
And a child in a crate
Smoke from the barn
Mud on their boots
They laughed at the fence
Like they owned that truth
[Pre-Chorus]
But the town stood still
When the word ran through
The office lit up
And the orders flew
[Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
[Verse 2]
The President heard
And his jaw got tight
Said "bring them in
Before the night"
Blue coats moved fast
On that rutted track
Pinned them to earth
And they didn't talk back
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust in the air
Boots hit the ground
No more running
When the law comes down
[Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
[Bridge]
Chain on the wrist
Keys on the ring
Cell door shut
Cold iron sing
Every stolen prayer
Every stolen day
Gets dragged on back
In the price you pay
[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
They came up off the road
To the settlers' gate
Took sacks of grain
And a child in a crate
Smoke from the barn
Mud on their boots
They laughed at the fence
Like they owned that truth
[Pre-Chorus]
But the town stood still
When the word ran through
The office lit up
And the orders flew
[Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
[Verse 2]
The President heard
And his jaw got tight
Said "bring them in
Before the night"
Blue coats moved fast
On that rutted track
Pinned them to earth
And they didn't talk back
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust in the air
Boots hit the ground
No more running
When the law comes down
[Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
[Bridge]
Chain on the wrist
Keys on the ring
Cell door shut
Cold iron sing
Every stolen prayer
Every stolen day
Gets dragged on back
In the price you pay
[Final Chorus]
Commonwealth law
Comin' down hard
Commonwealth law
Right in the yard
You take from the weak
You pay your due
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
Commonwealth law
Comin' for you
Stijl van muziek
Melodic country with a steady two-step groove, acoustic guitar and brushed drums in the verses, fiddle answers after each line, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony and handclaps, chorus lands bigger with steel guitar swells and a stomping kick. Close-mic male vocal, raspy lead with warm harmony doubles on the hook, short delay throws on key words, wind chimes and a low dobro slide as ear candy. Bright, rugged, punchy mix with a dusty frontier feel., country
