I was a highwayman, along the coach roads I did ride, With sword and pistol by my side. Many a young maid lost her bottles 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 divine. 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. |

Quoted: What is your favorite song? What an impossible question. |

Promised Land by Queensryche Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock upon my door and waiting... for Promised Land. Standing neck deep in life, my ring of brass lay rusting on the floor. Is this all? Because it's not what I expected. Somewhere along the way friends I once held close fled the fast lane. I didn't notice, I just had to make it. Head down, nose to the grindstone; the kiss of life placed on my brow kept sliddin' to the ground and now it's buried six feet under. Preaching from the floor again the same old sad song, "Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son." Where did it all go wrong? What's the use in even holding on? Here's to love, hate... and promises. Almost called it today. Turned to face "The Void" numb with the suffering and the question, "Why am I...?" So many times I've tried and failed to gather my courage reach again for that nail. Life's been like dragging feet through sand, and never finding... Promised Land. Preaching from the floor again the same old sad song, "Bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son." Where did it all go wrong? I feel like I'm dying. Here's to love, to hate, to promises and Promised Land lies. edited for typo |

This is a tough question to answer, but, at the moment, I would have to say "Mister Shorty" or
"Pride and the Badge" by Marty Robbins. Western story songs are my favorites. |

If anyone answers anything by Britney Spears, N'Sync or Backstreet Boys I vote we get to take their guns away as they're obviously not mentally competent to own firearms.
Anyone? |

Horse kicking dust up off the trail,
Just got back from a trip to hell, Sixgun shoestrapped by my side, All I own's this horse I ride, And it seems to me, This is one hell of a way for a man like me to earn my pay, Chorus: Outlaws on the loose, Runnin', runnin' from the noose, I'm a bounty hunter gonna hunt you down, Sixguns flash and hot lead flies, I wonder what they feel like when they die, Someday soon it'll be my turn, Is it worth the money earned, And it seems to me, this is one hell of a way for a man like me to earn my pay, (Repeat chorus) -[i]Bounty Hunter[/b], by Molly Hatchet |
