The Highwaymen (Highwayman) - Prosti PAD band - Live from Bohinj

Skupina PROSTI PAD iz Tolmina preigrava folk, country in rock glasbo 60. in 70. let, ki se je rodila na angleških in ameriških tleh. Z bluesovskimi ritmi se sprehaja po bombažnih poljih, lebdi nad gozdovi Severne Amerike, jezdi po prerijah in kanjonih in brodi po južnjaških močvirjih. Prepeva o svobodi in uporništvu, o pivu in lepih dekletih, o bogastvu in revščini, o soncu in dežju.

LYRICS:
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 borne 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 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
I'll be back again and again and again and again and again and again
