Living Legend

Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall? Were we better men, then 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 Talking about the 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 bitter then, with our backs against the wall? Say 2000 years ago Were we better men, then we'd ever been before? Well 200 yeras ago Say if she came again today, would you still answer to the call? Or tomorrow Tell the truth my friend, don't it matter anymore? --- Living Legend - The Highwaymen
