I've been up, down and I'm ready to ride
Ive been a long hair hippie with a pistol on my side
Fall back just to do it again
I keep a rider when I'm sleeping
In case she's foe instead of friend
Shouldn't have missed me the first time
Now I'm coming with the red eye
I've been down in the back of the room
Behind your murderous lies
I'm back with the hound dogs of hell
Keep on running and I'm on your trail
I don't give a damn what you gonna say
We're not gonna see the light
Chorus
Ride on
Till your singing through the day
No I'm not a criminal
I've never been a saint
You cross my brother or my lover
And I'll show you what it means
To be my papa's son
I'm gonna run and get my shotgun

You think you're living the good life
You hide your demons and I shine mine
That don't make it right for you to judge
I'm not gonna see the light
You take a look at my blood line
Try to find my criminal mind
I don't give a damn what you gonna say
We're all gonna die tonight
Chorus
No I'm not a criminal
From the day that I am born
You're gonna see where I'm from
I made it back from hell
Just to find you again
You better listen
This ain't no easy way to live
But we rise again
On the other side
You're gonna find your ride
Aaaaaah son
Chorus
