Michael Martin Murphey - Honor Bound lyrics

[Verse 1] There's an old code of honor that's fading away Worth remembering if we only would And though that old code of honor may not mean too much today That old code would do this world a world of good It started out at the round table, when arthur was the king When the knight was loyal to one lady fair And though handshakes, rings and promises to some don't mean a thing They did not die with [?] and [?] [Chorus] Honor bound, honor bound It's time to cross the line and stand your ground A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound Love is not free until it's honor bound [Verse 2] I was a knight in shining armour, when i rode into you life I came riding down the trail to save the day And now my armour is getting rusty, i'm not a hero anymore Still i will not saddle up and ride away [Chorus] Honor bound, honor bound It's time to cross the line and stand your ground A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound Love is not free until it's honor bound There's something that old soldiers and old cowboys know Only when you keep your promises will the seeds of honour grow [Chorus] Honor bound, honor bound It's time to cross the line and stand your ground A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound Love is not free until it's honor bound Love is not free until it's honor bound
