Living Legend (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - March 1990) - The Highwaymen/Willie Nelson/Johnny Cash/Waylon Jennings/Kris Kristofferson

Written by：Kris Kristofferson

Was it bitter then

With our backs against the wall

Were we better men

Than we'd ever been before

Say if she came again today

Would you still answer to the call

Tell the truth my friend

Don't it matter anymore

We were simple men

By her side when she was born

Talkin' about the dream

It was simple then

Like the freedom when you fall

And we were smaller then you see

But soon we gathered like a storm

They don't understand

What that thunder meant at all

Was he crucified

Was he done in by the law

Are you satisfied

That he'll never ride again

Some people say he got away

They say he never died at all

If that story's true

Does it bother you my friend

Was it bitter then

With our backs against the wall

Say two thousand years ago

Were we better men

Than we'd ever been before

Or two hundred years ago

Say if she came again today

Would you still answer to the call

Or tomorrow

Tell the truth my friend

Don't it matter anymore
