Living Legend Lyrics (K. Kristofferson)
-Solo-
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 (talking about that 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
-Solo-
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 (two-hundred years ago)
Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call (call tomorrow)
Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter anymore
-Solo-
