Hangtown (Alternate Version)

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven [Verse 1] Hangtown, sing the final song It's called the tree from which you hang that's done no wrong Hangtown, the birds have not yet gone They're waiting around to see that you fly on [Chorus] Those sorry cardboard cowboys tried to run you out of town For trying to turn your dreams into a song Those scented-candle cowboys tried to run you out of town They tried to turn your dreams into a song [Verse 2] Hangtown, it's like you're on a bike With legs that kick and pedal toward the light Hangtown, you did the best you could Now forgive them all, they know not what they do [Bridge] Forgive them all, for they were once good too Forgive us all, we know now what we do Hangtown [Outro] The scented-candle cowboys tried to run you out of town They tried to turn your dreams into a song Hangtown
