lyrics

Tie my hands, drop your weapons
We played a game I’m handing you the flag
Give your 84 cents to the carpenter
Cause the hangman is happy just to brag

And don't gripe bout the finer points of sportsmanship
For thirteen years I was your good little thorn
Please let me be as I prepare to die
And you can honor the oath you have sworn

And I haven't had a place in a heart or on a range
In a hideout or a faith from which i haven't run
I used to bow to instinct, I closed my eyes and fired my gun
But now i have grown weary of what I have become

So sheriff come for me, as I walk to town alone
And anywhere you hang me will be home

Hurry dust off the last of the fireworks
My arrest will be big news in the town
Bring your children so they can remember
When the trap door came a’ tumbling down

Overnight your bellies will be full again
And they’ll soon find a cure for the common man's cold
So rejoice for the brave politicians
They've finally caged the big bad wolf

And I haven't had a place in a heart or on a range
In a hideout or a faith from which i haven't run
I used to bow to instinct, I closed my eyes and fired my gun
But now i have grown weary of what I have become

So sheriff come for me, as I walk to town alone
And anywhere you hang me will be home
So sheriff come for me, as I walk to town alone
And anywhere you hang me will be home
