Текст The Highwaymen – Living Legend

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

Kristofferson

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.

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?
