Highwayman (Live) - Willie Nelson (威利·纳尔逊)/Kris Kristofferson/Shooter Jennings/Jamey Johnson

Written by：Jimmy L. Webb

I was a highwayman

Along the coach roads I did ride

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

When the yards broke off they said that

I got killed

But I'm 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

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
