The Rubettes - Highwayman's Lament lyrics

Out along the road That's life for me A highwayman I'll be Better that than hung upon your love Masquerading yeah Riding on the land Raising all the hands Deliver to the badmen of your town And I feel alright In the middle of the night With my guns beside me in my bed And I know some day if I have to ride away I will still be a legend in your head Yes I'll always be a legend to be read In the cloak of blue Here I must remain Cold from wind and rain How I long to be home with you We were to be wed But I chose to be free A highwayman I'll be Now I find it's not the life for me And I feel alright In the middle of the night With my guns beside me in my bed And I know some day if I have to ride away I will still be a legend in your head Yes I'll always be a legend to be read But I don't feel right in the middle of the night Without you beside me in my bed And I know some day That's they'll carry me away With a bullet embedded in my head But I'll still be a legend to be read And I feel alright In the middle of the night With my guns beside me in my bed And I know some day if I have to ride away I will still be a legend in your head Yes I'll always be a legend to be read And I feel alright In the middle of the night With my guns beside me in my bed And I know some day if I have to ride away I will still be a legend in your head Yes I'll always be a legend to be read
