I've been runnin since I was born
Without anywhere to go
Tradin shots with the devil himself
And handed him my soul

I won't go down without a fight
Cause I know I'm gonna die
Hang em high
I got a shotgun cross my back
And a six gun in my hand
You better get your shot off first
Cause I'll kill you where you stand

And I won't go down without a fight
Cause I know I'm gonna die
Hang em high

They tell me when the rope's pulled tight
You'll beg em to set you free
But I'll stare em right in the eye
Till they cut me from that tree

And I won't go down without a fight
Cause I know I'm gonna die
Hang em high
