He’s riding home on the highway
His eyes are red and warn
He fights to stay awake
As he rides on through the storm
She sneaks up close beside him
Gives her sexy eyes a flash
He swerves into the ditches
Rolls into a fatal crash
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
There’s a young boy at a party
In the corner meek and shy
So worried he’ll get lucky
That he’s too afraid to try
His peers put on the pressure
As she takes him by the hand
She pulls him to a bedroom
Makes him die just like a man
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
Oooh, she’s so worldly fine
In her high-heels, diamonds and blue jeans, she’s a crime
Ooooh, those eyes, they can kill so slow
The fool will be her victim, let a wise man let her go
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
There’s an old man in a hotel
He’s as lonely as can be
So he walks down to the barroom
Just to find some company
Her drink is getting empty
So she looks him in the eyes
He chokes upon his memory
Has a heart attack and dies
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
And in the eyes of the Law
She’s manslaughter
