sting - i hung my head

early one morning
with time to kill
i borrowed jeb’s rifle
and sat on the hill
i saw a lone rider
crossing the plain
i drew a bead on him
to practice my aim
my brother’s rifle
went off in my hand
a shot rang out
across the land
the horse he kept running
the rider was dead
i hung my head
i set off running
to wake from the dream
went into the stream
i kept on running
into the salt lands
and that’s where they found me
my head in my hands
the sheriff he asked me
why had i run
then it came to me
just what i had done
and all for no reason
just one piece of lead
here in the courthouse
the whole town is there
i see the judge
high up in his chair
"explain to the courtroom
what went through your mind
and we’ll ask the jury
what verdict they find"
i said "i felt the power
of death over life
i orphaned his children
i widowed his wife
i beg their forgiveness
i wish i was dead"
i see the gallows
up on the hill
and out in the distance
a trick of the brain
i see a lone rider
he’s come to fetch me
to see what they done
we’ll ride together
’til kingdom come
i pray for god’s mercy
for soon i’ll be dead
