lyrics

Sitting on my horse under that old oak tree
Looking back to see what I have done
Life spent running from the deputies
Hiding out with a whiskey and my gun

Used to be a man on that trail next to me
Helped me out when times where getting tough
Now he's 6 feet down under a poplar tree
Stretching out his neck just wasn't enough

Crime doesn't pay
He obviously wasn't counting on me riding through their town
Guns blazing high
Be on my way to Texas before the hunt me down
When they hunt me down
Yeah I'm not going down easy bet your ass I'm putting up a fight
Stories that they'll tell
Of that cold November evening
When they hung poor Johnny high
They hung poor Johnny high
They hung poor Johnny high

Every town I've been had my way with the women
Doing some unspeakable crime
Breaking the law you know it's a given
Guess I gotta do my time

Rope around my neck is a chafing and a burning
Waiting to hear that old whip crack
Hanging by the rope my body starts a turning
Losing my breath and praying my neck snaps
