A tall dark figure I've never seen before
His badge shone brightly like a star in the sky
He dragged me out to the waiting car

Wake up time for freedom, baby
Wake up time to fly
Wake up time for freedom, baby

A flock of vultures spinning 'round my head
Left me on the roadside for dead
Cars pass by but no one stares
These waking dreams, they never end

Lawman on the bank now, honey
Hound dog on my trail
Wake up time for freedom

On the river, on the river

Cold sweat drips down
Illusion and fear
On the river, on the river, on the river

Drifting in on a dust cloud parched and dirty from the ride
He tied his horse to a fence post and strapped a gun to his side
Across the square walked a lady Indian girl dressed in black
As she walked by she smiled and said as she walked by she said

Lay down your gun young boy lay down your gun young man
Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die

In her eye he saw a tear winter rose she gave to him
On his cheek she placed a kiss and prayed to set him free
Spotted the lady standing waiting there
With outstretched hands to stop that bloody bloody affair

Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die Young man

Lay down your gun young boy if you don't you're going to die Going to die
If you don't
Lay down stay down
Lay down lay down your gun young man
Lay down stay down young boy
Lay down your gun
