Verse
Let me tell you a story, not long ago.
High on a mountain in Idaho.
In Idaho, I was living free.
Sold a sawed off shotgun to the deputy.
Well, don't shoot me down. (They're gonna shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down. (Gonna shoot me down)
I gotta wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
They gonna shoot me down
Well, don't shoot me down. (They're gonna shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down. (Gonna shoot me down)
I gotta wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
They gonna shoot me down
Verse
They shoot my good dog, they shot my boy.
My only son my pride and joy.
They left my wife dead on the floor,
Holding our baby in the cabin door.
Well, don't shoot me down. (They're gonna shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down. (Gonna shoot me down)
I gotta wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
They gonna shoot me down
Well, don't shoot me down. (They're gonna shoot me down)
Don't shoot me down. (Gonna shoot me down)
I gotta wife and kids on Ruby Ridge
They gonna shoot me down
