KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Living Legend lyrics

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 lawmen

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...
