Bird On A Wire Lyrics

     By the rivers down south
     There's gonna be a hangin'
     He took the life of another man's wife
     The evidence was damning
     Let me simplify
     Justice will be served
     Let no one stand in our way
     Let no one be concerned

     In his eyes there was no regret
     But you could feel the snap of his neck

     They had all been friends
     The couple and this man
     And there was something wrong
     With the story at hand
     But I was blind with rage
     And I was blind with hate
     But now I had my doubts
     But now it was too late

     In his eyes there was no more pain
     I think we'll have ourselves a hangin' again
     Like a bird on a wire

     One day they'll come for me
     But I have no fear
     I only did what I thought was right
     Cast a stone if you dare
     And so I stand alone
     Before this great debate
     But beware my words
     As you seal my fate

     In my eyes there was no regret
     But you could feel the snap of my neck
     Like a bird on a wire

     In his eyes there was no more pain
     I don't think this brid'll fly again

     By the rivers down south
     They had a bunch of hangings
     They took the lives of everyone there
     You know it was quite savage
     But they were blind with rage
     And they were blind with hate
     And so I stood alone
     Like a bird on a wire
