Highwayman　　The Highwaymen (Jimmy Webb) I was a highwayman Along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive I was a sailor I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed But I am living still I was a dam builder Across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around I'll always be around and around and around and around and around I fly a starship Across the universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again

公路搶匪　　 公路搶匪合唱團 我曾是一個攔路搶匪 騎乘在馬車奔馳的路上 身邊帶著刀與手槍 許多年輕女孩和我交易，失去了廉價珠寶 許多士兵在我的刀下傷亡慘重 那些渾球在 '25 年的春天將我處以吊刑 但我依然活著 我是一個水手 我在潮浪中誕生 一直和海洋共存 我駕著多桅帆船繞過合恩角到墨西哥 我爬上去收起主帆時，突來一個顛撲 人們說船身破裂時，我已氣絕身亡 但我依然活著 我是個水壩建築工人 橫越過深邃寬闊的河面 在鋼鐵與河水碰撞之處 那是在科羅拉多州一個叫波德的地方 我滑了一跤，跌落到濕黏的水泥底下 他們就那樣把我葬在無聲的巨大墳墓裡 但我依然可以四處遊走 我永遠可以四處遊走........ 我駕駛著一艘太空船 飛越過分割的宇宙 當我抵達另一邊時 我會找到讓靈魂安息之地 也許我會再次成為一個攔路搶匪 或者乾脆化成一滴雨水 但我終將留下 我會再度回來，不斷的回來........
