the highwayman's lament - beerside scoundrels lyrics

[intro]
i’m a blatant thief and robber, i’m a highwayman by trade
i’m an unabashed scoundrel, i’m a rouge with a blade
and i know, i’m digging my own grave

[verse 1]
i’ve a wife and three fine children, i provide as best i can
but the day my children fail to eat is the day i’m not a man
and i know, by god i’m just a man

[chorus]
but the life of an outlaw is all that’s left for me
i rob upon these highways, its the only choice i see
and if the king’s men fall before me, that’s the way it has to be

[verse 2]
well the lord [?], i’m three weeks on the run
i’m living hour to hour, will i see a morning sun
and i know, my time is almost done

[verse 3]
though the hangman’s noose pursues me, i must stay one step ahead
like the shadow flees the sunlight, i must flee or risk my head
and i know, there’s not long left to go

[chorus]
but the life of an outlaw is all that’s left for me
i rob upon these highways, its the only choice i see
and if the king’s men fall before me, that’s the way it has to be
[outro]
i’m a blatant thief and robber, i’m a highwayman by trade
i’m an unabashed scoundrel, i’m a rouge with a blade
and i know, my soul will not be saved
but the life of an outlaw is all that’s left for me
i rob upon these highways, its the only choice i see
and if the king’s men fall before me, that’s the way it has to be
yes, the life of an outlaw is all that’s left for me
i rob upon these highways, its the only choice i see
and if the king’s men fall before me, its the way it has to be
