The Highwaymen - Highwayman

The Highwaymen: Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson ~ legends each one on his own. I love their songs, the guitar score, the voices, and particularly the sentiment of this particular song ... 

I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again ...

Highwayman
Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side

Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards 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 ~

I'll always be 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 ...
