That Man Will Not Hang

There's a story on a thimble on a dimple, on a pea
 And it's absolutely true until the end
 When they pan out in the titles, we can see you're still alive
 And the maitre'd is not your special friend
 There's a road in a wrong place, twice as far out
 And a bitch on a bridge, yeah the bridge was a bitch
 With a heavenly drawn out roll of her lips
 She undid the straps and smiled
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 There's a man you should meet and he might be under arrest
 But believe me when I tell you, "He's okay"
 He ran the Mohawk out of living rooms across the land
 And introduced me to the joys of doubt
 There's a dream, there's a barn
 There was a story, it was a boring one
 But honestly I tried to stay awake
 Born to hang and proud of it, I base my claim on credit
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man, he will never hang
 That man will not hang
 That man
 He realized he wanted to have children with this girl
 He pulled her to his side and quietly
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Wednesday the studio come knocking
 Excuse them but they need their property
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
 Gave away his heart like it was his to give away
