Intro

Verse 1

(Willie Nelson)

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 25,

But I am still alive

Verse 2

(Kris Kristofferson)

I was a sailor, I was born upon the tide,

With the sea I did abide,

I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico,

I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow,

And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed,

But I am living still

Verse 3

(Waylon Jennings)

I was a dam builder, across a 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 gray tomb that knows no sounds,

But I am still around,

Bridge

(All)

 I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around, and around...

Verse 4

(Johnny Cash)

I'll 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,

Outro

(All)

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