Verse 1

Sometimes I think “I've gotta change or something's gonna give”

I hope I never have to pay for all the wrong I did

 There are those who cut cherry trees and couldn't tell a lie

I cut down a redwood and I blamed another guy

Chorus

In this town they want to see me dead

In this town they want to see me dead

 In this town they want to see me dead

 But they can't catch me because I'm gingerbread

Verse 2

My hands are bloody but I never punched a clock

I've been prying jewels from a dead man's watch

My friends say I'm misunderstood

But I know they'd run me down if they could

Bridge

“He's no good” I've heard it said

“Worthless useless poorly bred”

that hits the nail right on the head

I've shed blood on sacred ground

 I heard that sheriff's coming around

Oh lord, I'm sinking down

Verse 3

Outlaws never live so long I think my time is near

I regret all the pain I caused my mother dear

But if I had a bullet for all the folks I'd wronged

I'd shoot them in the belly and watch them suffer on
