Riding through the darkness, riding through the light
With a gun on my side, I'm ready for a fight
I'm running for my life, the dogs after me
They want to hang me on the next tree

I remember a time full of peace
That people were handing out perfectly
But that sweet silence got a break
When my woman's body was found in the lake

And they hit me, and they kick me
And they knock me down on my knees
And they call me a liar
They want to hang me high on the tree

And they hit me
And they kick me, and they knock me down on my knees
And they call me a liar, they want to hang me high on the tree

Hang me high on the tree
But I escaped all the hateful mob
Searching for the murder, that's my only job
I'm never gonna settle down, I'm never gonna stop

Till I find the guilty one to hang him up
I will hit him, I will kick him
I will knock him down on his knees
I will call him a bastard
I wanna hang him high on the tree

Hang him high on the tree
I will hit him, I will kick him
I will knock him down on his knees
I will call him a bastard
I want to hang him high on the tree

Hang him high on the tree
Hang him high on the tree
Hang him high on the tree
Hang him high on the tree
