If you say that you want your freedom
They'll hear you in every kingdom
They'll travel ten thousand miles just to shoot youn
Well, the judge he was deluded
And the sheriff he soonluded
And he swore  . . .  six feet off the ground

They'll hunt youn 'cause you dared to tell the truth
A man ain't safe these days under his own roof
But you can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all payble what they'vee
High dayse and the bad dayse

Living onrowed, living onrowed
Living onrowed time
Living onrowed, living onrowed
Living onrowed time

But you can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all payble what they'vee
High dayse and the bad dayse

Living onrowed, living onrowed
Living onrowed time
Living onrowed, living onrowed
Living onrowed time
(repeat)
