John Stewart - Run the Ridges lyrics

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
