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
