Highwayman’s Lament

Alan James Williams, John Richardson

Out along the road
That's life for me
A highwayman I'll be
Better that than hung upon your love
Masquerading yeah
Riding on the land
Raising all the hands
Deliver to the badmen of your town

And I feel alright
In the middle of the night
With my guns beside me in my bed
And I know some day if I have to ride away
I will still be a legend in your head
Yes I'll always be a legend to be read

In the cloak of blue
Here I must remain
Cold from wind and rain
How I long to be home with you
We were to be wed
But I chose to be free
A highwayman I'll be
Now I find it's not the life for me

And I feel alright
In the middle of the night
With my guns beside me in my bed
And I know some day if I have to ride away
I will still be a legend in your head
Yes I'll always be a legend to be read

But I don't feel right in the middle of the night
Without you beside me in my bed
And I know some day
That's they'll carry me away
With a bullet embedded in my head
But I'll still be a legend to be read

And I feel alright
In the middle of the night
With my guns beside me in my bed
And I know some day if I have to ride away
I will still be a legend in your head
Yes I'll always be a legend to be read

And I feel alright
In the middle of the night
With my guns beside me in my bed
And I know some day if I have to ride away
I will still be a legend in your head
Yes I'll always be a legend to be read
