The Highwaymen Lyrics

Living Legend Lyrics

[Nelson:]
Was it bitter then,
With our backs against the wall?

[Kristofferson:]
Were we better men,
Than we'd ever been before?

[Nelson:]
Say, if she came again today,
Would you still answer to the call?

[Kristofferson:]
Tell the truth my friend,
Don't it matter anymore?

[Nelson:]
We were simple men,
By her side when she was born.

[Kristofferson Spoken:]
Talkin' about the dream.

[Cash Sung:}
It was simple then,
Like the freedom when you fall.
And we were smaller then you see,
But soon we gathered like a storm.
They don't understand
What that thunder meant at all.

[Instrumental break]

[Nelson:]
Was he crucified,
Was he done in by the law?

[Kristofferson:]
Are you satisfied,
That he'll never ride again?

[Jennings:]
Some people say he got away,
They say he never died at all.

[Cash:]
If that story's true,
Does it bother you my friend?

[Kristofferson:]
Was it bitter then,
With our backs against the wall?
Spoken
Say, two thousand years ago.

[Nelson sung:]
Were we better men,
Than we'd ever been before?
[Spoken:]
Or two hundred years ago.

[Kristofferson Sung:]
Say, if she came again today,
Would you still answer to the call?
[Cash spoken:]
Or tomorrow.

[Kristofferson Sung:]
Tell the truth my friend,
Don't it matter anymore?
