Highwaymen feat. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings & Kris Kristofferson - Highwayman Lyrics

Lyrics Highwayman - Highwaymen feat. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings & Kris Kristofferson



I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young girl lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
They finally hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
Yes, I′ll always be around and around
And around and around and around and around
I fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I′ll be back again,
And again and again and again and again and again and again
