[verse 1]
i was [?]
[?]
[?]
followed a coyote through the dust of mexico
and every one of them except for me survived
but i am still alive

[verse 2]
i was a healer
i was gifted as a girl
i laid hands upon the world
someone saw me sleeping, waking in the noon sun
i heard “witchcraft” in the whispers and i knew my time had come
the b-st-rd told me i [?] [gallows hill?]
but i am living still

[verse 3]
i was a freedom rider
[?]
[?] in the spring of ’61
i sat down on the greyhound that was bound for mississippi
my mother asked me if that ride was worth my life
and as the shots rang out i never head the sound
but i am still around

[chorus]
and i’ll take that ride again
and again
and again
and again
and again

[verse 4]
i was a preacher
my heart broke for all the world
but teaching wasn’t righteous for a girl
in the summer i was baptized in the mighty colorado
in the winter i heard the hounds and i knew i had been found
and in my savior’s name i lay my weapons down
but i am still around

[verse 5]
we are the highwomen
singing’ stories still untold
we carry the sons, you can only hope
we are the daughters of the silent generation
you sent our hearts to die alone and for our nations
it may return to us as tiny drips of rain
but we will still remain

[chorus]
and we’ll come back again and again and again
and again and again
and we’ll come back again and again and again
and again and again
we’ll come back again and again and again
and again and again
and we’ll come back again and again and again
and again and again
