The Highwaymen — Living Legend

[Willie Nelson] Was it bitter then With our backs against the wall? [Kris Kristofferson] Were we better men Than we'd ever been before? [Willie Nelson] Say, if she came again today Would you still answer to the call? [Kris Kristofferson] Tell the truth my friend Don't it matter anymore? [Willie Nelson] We were simple men By her side when she was born [Kris Kristofferson, spoken] Talkin' about the dream [Johnny Cash] 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 [Instrumental break] [Willie Nelson] Was he crucified Was he done in by the law? [Kris Kristofferson] Are you satisfied That he'll never ride again? [Waylon Jennings] Some people say he got away They say he never died at all [Johnny Cash] If that story's true Does it bother you my friend? [Kris Kristofferson] Was it bitter then With our backs against the wall? Spoken Say, two thousand years ago [Willie Nelson] Were we better men Than we'd ever been before? Spoken Or two hundred years ago [Kris Kristofferson] Say, if she came again today Would you still answer to the call? [Johnny Cash, spoken] Or tomorrow [Kris Kristofferson] Tell the truth my friend Don't it matter anymore?
