I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide And with the sea I did abide.
I sailed a schooner round the Horn of Mexico I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still.
I was a dam builder. Across the river deep and wide. Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
around and around
I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again. (sing365)

"Highwayman" is a contemporary country music ballad written by songwriter Jimmy Webb, about a soul with incarnations in four different places in time and history, a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a star ship captain.
