Rise Above It

Changed my look, my name but can it really last?
I changed everything but I can’t change my past
Ran me out of town, a bounty on my head
Strung me up a tree, hanged and left for dead

I can see the noose around my neck
Swaying in the wind, swaying

Met a lot of souls but I can’t get attached
I will rise above it
Shield my eyes from the shiny sheriff’s badge
I will rise above it
I drift from town to town I never stay too long
I will rise above it
Dream of my old home where you and I belong

I can see the noose around my neck
Swaying in the wind

I’m tired of running, time to look them in the eye
I will rise above it
They can’t follow me if all of them have died
I will rise above it
I lie in wait for men in grey coats to come
I will rise above it
Last sound they hear will be my hot smoking gun

I can see the noose around my neck
Swaying in the wind
I will rise above it, I will rise above it
I will rise above it, I will rise above it
