Consequences: a Song Lyric

Verse 1: Asked the hangman, “How they hangin’” He didn’t even crack a smile. Said, “Boy, the court is not in session. You’re gonna have to hang around awhile.” Pre-chorus: Then there I was walking down the street Shootin’ the breeze with Pistol Pete We jumped in a sailboat to take a ride But we had to jump off ‘cause the wind had died. Chorus: Things can change when you build new fences Things can change when you tear old fences down Gotta watch out for those consequences A small mistake can make for shaky ground Bridge: Hold your horses, Palamino Joe you've been to places you shouldn't go the NSA and the FBI they've decided you've gotta fry Repeat Chorus.
