lyrics

Dear God
Forgive me
I know not what I've done.
I took him out back
Gave him a shave with a skatter gun.
I think hard and hang high.
Till the day they cut me down.
I don't move
I just wait
Hanging on to every sound I hear.

I thought this was
The end of
My life long losing streak.
Well I just trip.
I don't tweak.
And I don't listen to the
Junkie jive dope speak.
I just trip.
I don't tweak.
And I don't listen to the
Junkie jive dope speak.

Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what Abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa

This is not
How I thought
That it would end for me.
I'm hanging high
On the rope
Under the holler tree.
Least the river runs
under my dangling feet.
But I thought this was
The end of
My life long losing streak.

Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa

Whoa whoa
Hangman's noose ain't gonna set me free.
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Devil says, "Boy you ain't gonna work for me"
So I'll swing.
Whoa whoa
Now I know what abandon meant
So I'll swing
Whoa whoa
