Styx - Born For Adventure lyrics

rate me

Written by Dennis DeYoung

Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung

I am the thief of the highway

Rich man you better take hold

'Cause last night while you lie sleeping

I came to steal all your gold

All the King's horses

All the King's men

Surrounded the chapel

To trap me within

A Lady in waiting

Lips red with rouge

She offered me pleasures

I could not refuse

No, no, no

For I was born

Born for adventure

Women whisky and sin

No I'll never surrender

Live by the sword till the end

All the King's horses

All the King's men

Were drinking and dancing

At Fezewig's Inn

They spoke of my capture

And of my escape

They called it misfortune

But I called it fate

No, no, no

For I was born

Born for adventure

Women whisky and sin

No I'll never surrender

Live by the sword till the end
