Highwaymen - Living Legend lyrics

rate me

Was it better then, with our backs against the wall?

Were we better men than we'd ever been before?

Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?

Tell the truth my friend don't it matter anymore?

We were simple men, by her side when she was born.

{Spoken: Talkin about that dream}

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.

Was he crucified, was he done in by the law?

Are you satisfied that he'll never ride again?

Some people say he got away, they say he never died at all.

If that story's true, does it bother you my friend?

Was it better then, with our backs against the wall?

{Spoken: Say 2000 years ago}

Were we better men than we'd ever been before?

{Spoken: 200 years ago}

Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?

{Spoken: Or tomorrow}

To tell the truth my friend don't it matter anymore?
