[Verse]
Oh to be as the birds are: unburdened by loneliness
Oh to be a shining star so far away with no regret
Oh to live in some photograph, smiling and in love
Far from where you said all that shit about freedom

[Chorus]
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
With them coyotes hollering in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me

[Verse]
Fancied myself the exception to almost any rule
Youth is wasted on the young, I was exceptionally cruel
Like any person, I am insecure
You never judged me for that mountain
You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough
I just drank up the fountain

[Chorus]
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin' round
With them coyotes hollerin' in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me
[Outro]
They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
