waylon jennings – highwayman lyrics
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 b-st-rds hung me
in the spring of twenty-five
but i am still alive
i was a sailor
i was born upon the tide
with the sea i did abide
i sailed a schooner
’round the h-rn 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 livin’ 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
and around
i fly a starship
‘cross 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
