Won't need no mercy on my soul When the lawman's got me cold 'Cause breaking the rules that they told Was something I had to do Play their game But you start to win and the rules change So my ship come rollin' in, it's gonna roll right over you (And your law too)
The tightrope we walk leads straight to the gallows And when the hangman calls your name
Heroes and villains hang the same
Early in the morning swinging in the breeze There's a mist shrouded figure hangin' in the sycamore tree Hero or villain don't matter much to me They all end up the same, no one gets off scot-free
The tightrope we walk leads straight to the gallows And when the hangman calls your name
Heroes and villains hang the same Sinner or sainthood's your game
Whether you're a demon or divine When the hangman says it's time You won't see me sing the blues 'Cause I said fuck all your rules
Heroes and villains hang the same
It's just the writing on the tombstone change There ain't a peasant or a king Escapes that Dodge city rope swing
When the hangman calls your name Heroes and villains hang the same
Maybe I'll concede to do anything you want me to Maybe I'll bleed for you but you gotta catch me You know I'll cry for you Maybe I'll fry for you Someday I'll die for you But you gotta catch me (Better hit me with your first shot)
Won't need no mercy on my soul When the lawman's got me cold Before I swing from that gallows pole Catch me if you can My time ain't due.....Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
