You think if you set the price they'll turn me in
You think that when I'm up upon the pike you'll win
They'll say that I was fighting
For the spirit of the law
What will they say about you
When I'm gone
You murdered and you stole you mocked the home I gave
Though I'd prefer a happy end no man can cheat the grave
I know what they'll remember
In the words of every song
What will they say about you
When I'm gone
They'll say
We stared into the wind that tore away our breath
We left behind a message that can not be claimed by death
A hero lives forever
For the ones that carry on
What will they say about you
When I'm gone
