Lyrics Honor Bound - Michael Martin Murphey

There's an old code of honor
Fast fading away
Worth remembering
If we only would
And though that old code of honor
May not mean to much today
That old code would do this world
A world of good

Started out on a round table
When Arthur was the king
When a knight was loyal to one lady fair
And though handshakes, rings and promises
To some don't mean a thing
They did not die with Lancelot and Guinevere

Honor bound, honor bound
It's time to cross the line
Stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor
It's just an empty sound
Love is not free until is honor bound

I was a knight in shinning armor
When I rode in to your life
That came riding down the trail
To save the day
And though my armor's getting rusty
I'm not a hero anymore
Still I will not saddle and ride away

Honor bound, honor bound
It's time to cross the line
Stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor
It's just an empty sound
Love is not free until is honor bound

There's something that old soldiers
And old cowboys know
Only when you keep your promises
Will the seeds of honor grow

Honor bound, honor bound
It's time to cross the line
Stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor
It's just an empty sound
Love is not free until is honor bound

Love is not free until is honor bound
