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
|
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 lawman?
|
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?
|
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?
