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 b______s hung me in the spring of twenty-five.
But I am still alive.

Kris Kristofferson:
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide.
And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico.
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow.
And when the yards broke off they say that I got killed.
But I am living still.

Waylon Jennings:
I was a dam builder across the 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 great tomb that knows no sound.
But I am still around.
I'll always be around and around and around and around and around...

Johnny Cash:
I fly a starship across 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.
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again...
