Yes I am the Hiway Man I played my hand and I won Rode on down from Richmond Join the other side War was raging out 1865 Riding, cloak is flying Slapping in he breeze. Money, give me all you have Maybe I'll take your life Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly Through the night. (Hate myself, choose the road Won't you fall this way Captain Walter understands Wash your feet and pray.) Money, give me all you have Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly through the night. Riding down a country road I race the silver moon Chasin' shadows 'cross the field Dogs coming soon Kick my horse and wail out loud The fog was rolling by The dust did blow, the gold was mined The lady, heard her cry. Money, give me all you have Maybe I'll save your life Cause the Hiway Man's not sure how long to last. Sing easy towards the sun You know we'll find our way (Gotta find my way)(HA HA) I got to hide away (HA HA) (Got to hide away) When the lightning strikes You know we'll find our way (Got to find my way) Ooooo! Money, give me all you have Cause the Hiway Man comes soon Cause the Hiway Man cuts quickly Through the night. Whooo, yeeeeeaaahh, ow, bye-bye, whoo, see you later, ooohhh, Woooo, woooo-woooo, wooo-wooo. |

You're a young man now and You toss the hair from your shoulders Feeling strong and All the young girls are coming on bolder Back at home you know the old folks just get older Why wait around when the world needs a leader. Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader. There's a light to your life and Your eyes are glowing much brighter There's a voice in the dark and She whispers, "You gotta hold tighter" Storm is lifted and your spirits are soaring much higher It's a race to the end but the way seems to be clearing. Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader Oh Yeah. There's a band in the streets Gonna play "Homecoming Soldier" Well back in D.C., man The White House is shakin' us some Cause the Senators fear that the young vote is gonna take over (Watch it) You're a young man now He's got to toss the hair from his shoulder. Either you could be a believer Either you might have a leader You're a young man now and you haven't got a lot to lose. |

Billy Joe went lookin' round One yellow summer day To see if he could find some grass To help him on his way But everywhere that Billy went They said the town was dry So he got to talkin' round And ask the reason why. Oh! pleasant hope He asked the reason why Oh! pleasant hope When we're gonna get our dope! Oh! pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way Oh! pleasant hope Won't you help him on his way. They said they're burning farmers now Long live Mexico! For some uncertain reason now Just won't let grass grow All we have to do is wait some more And bide our time And pretty soon the times will change And grass will flow like wine. Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine Oh! pleasant hope Grass will flow like wine! |

It's not the Devil that you conjure
When you turn your back on me You'll just be looking in the shadows I'm the light, I'm the light I'm the only one you'll see. Speak to you through illusions, babe You must tune yourself to me You mustn't waste your time with all you've seen I'm the light, I'm the light And this is just one of my dreams. It's one foot in the astral world Other one in the grave 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light It's one hand for all mankind While the other holds the flame 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light. I play the master game I hold the key to time Do you see my light, baby You have the greatest scene Ten thousand times. It's one foot in the astral world Other one in the breeze 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light It's one hand for all mankind While the other holds the flame 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light. I'm the light I'm the light I'm the only one you'll see 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light 'Till you see my light I'm the light I'm the light I'm the only one you'll see. |
