Intro

[Verse 1] (Willie Nelson)
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 bastards hung me in the spring of twenty five
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 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 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 sound
But I am still around
[Bridge] (All)
I'll always be around, and around, and around, and around,
and around, and around ...
[Verse 4] (Johnny Cash)
I'll 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
[Outro] (All)
And I'll be back again, and again, and again, and again,
and again, and again ...
