Up on red mountain
I killed my friend
I cut him down and
I buried him
Maybe I shouldn't have come back that day
But I don't go easy
Now my mind
Made my tomorrow go gray
Making a lie
of a truth I wanted to say
Now they've come to put me away
But I don't go easy
I've got to run away
But I'll make my way back to you some day
Just wait another night for me
And I will
Look at how
They went and rode me out of town
Telling me to stay away
Saying I'd pay if i came around
It didn't have to be this way, but who am i to say
The truth don't come easy
You can take me at my word
and forget everything else that you heard
I was a peaceful man
I guess it just took me awhile to learn
This wasn't in God's plan, i had to play my hand
And I don't go easy
