Lyrics

Written by tommy shaw, jack blades, ted nugent

Freedom rider
On a midnight cruise
On my way
I got nothing to lose

Sister mercy
Gonna take my hand
Lead me over
To the promised land

But you'd better not
Set your sights on me
'Cause it just might spoil your victory

Chorus:
Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me
Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on me

We walked the gound
Of ancient ones
Lit the fire
With a rising sun

You and me
We got a full on rage
Won't get fooled
No I won't be caged

Make love not war
Was you claim to fame
Now you're takin' me down
Well I won't be tamed

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me
Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on me

You better turn and walk away
(Don't tread on me)
I'd like to love another day
Yeah and I know you need to hear me say
All I want is you

After guitar solo:
Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you try
And make some fool of me
Don't you tread on

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you try
And make us enemies
Don't you tread on

Don't you dare
Don't you tread on me
Don't you tread on me

Don't you dare forget your history
Don't you tread on me
