...take from the rich and give to the poor...

lyrics

HIGHWAY MEN
By Sid Apps & Allan Humpherys© 2k11

VERSE
Being round those stage coach & railroad lines, highway men are we

Like Robin Hood who took from the rich & gave to the poor, helping them keep the bankers away

Times are tough, times are bad, a man's gotta do with whats at hand, feeding his family with the little you got

Growing up dirt poor, the rich man he's always got more, were like Jesse James riding in the night

VERSE
"We're robbing this bank so reach for the sky" "Lie on the floor don't look me in the eye", now "Where is the safe, fill these bags"

We fired three shots as we're out the door, "If Anyone's follows, I'll fire one more", before our feet in the stirrup, horses flying away

Like Sundance & Butch Cassidy, running wild living free riding fast and breaking the law

We'll go out with our gun's blazing, were going to hell in every religion, heaven won't take us, we're cast away

CHORUS
Some day when legends are told, they will talk of us as heroes of old, living the life that you dream

There is something you don't know, when you ride with the devil he owns your soul, that's the price you pay, that's the price you pay

VERSE
Pancho & Geronimo, Quantrill's Raiders stole a few souls, all called the road "home" while breaking the law

U S Marshall's, those Texas Rangers, County Sheriff's all were able & chasing our hero's to keep justice alive

Highway Men, the poor man's hero, Highway Men the Devil's equal, glory bound till hell claims it's due

Highway Men, will ride again, Highway Men be foe or friend, Highway Men fading into the night

CHORUS
Some day when legends are told, they will talk of us as heroes of old, living the life that you dream

There is something that you don't know, when you ride with the devil he owns your soul, that's the price you pay, that's the price you pay
