I heard this as i walked upon on the dusty street
Everybody still spittin in my face
I scratched it on the back of another piece of leather
So i could remember what to say
If you give 'em enough fire they'll burn themselves
If you give 'em enough rope they'll hang
I remember what the wise man told me
Don't ever be afraid to...
Chorus:
Find a good horse and ride to the end
And that's just what the hell i'm gonna do
Take a chance with every breath
You ain't got nothin else to lose
A man's word is the blade of a knife
Words carry weight it's true
You can't go wrong when a good thing catches on
Just take it from the news
If you give 'em enough fire they'll burn themselves
If you give 'em enough rope they'll hang
I remember what the wise man told me
Don't ever be afraid to...
