Run The Ridges |
Well, I hope to tell you, Johnny, that I lay that rifle down |
Let’s leave the noose and the calaboose headed for another town |
Well, I’ve got your name in San Jose and your picture’s there to see |
And they’re shootin' men in Texas just because they look like me |
And we will run the ridges of our green land Tennessee |
And we will hide for forty years if that’s what’s meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be |
If that’s what meant to be |
Well, they’ll rope and tie you, Johnny, and they’ll throw you to the ground |
And they’ll let you hang a week or two 'fore they cut your body down |
Body down, body down |
Body down, body down, body down |
Body down, body down, body down |
'Fore they cut your body down |
Maybe we could try Mexico and cross the desert sand |
But they’re guardin' 'cross the border 'case we swim the Rio Grande |
And we will run the ridges of our green land Tennessee |
And we will hide for forty years if that’s what’s meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be |
If that’s what meant to be |
Well, I hope to tell you, Johnny, that I lay that rifle down |
Let’s leave the noose and the calaboose and headed for another town |
And we will run the ridges of our green land Tennessee |
And we will hide for forty years if that’s what’s meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be |
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be |
If that’s what meant to be |
