#cocks gun you WILL all get on my outlaw country agenda or else #LIKE!!! Highwayman implies that the speaker is reincarnated as a fighter for freedom and justice almost against his will #Or like. like the last verse 'rest my spirit if i can' like he's tired and alone and he knows he will last forever but he just wants to be #a single drop of rain. a resting spirit #he wants it to end #highwomen is a collective. a chorus of voices #we are eternal you banish us and we return in every form we are here and we return #she is a leader of outlaws and of women and she is never resting until justice is done #and silver? #well he's wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans wearing yesterday's misfortunes like a smile #once he had a future full of money love and dreams which he spent like they was going out of style #and he keeps right on a-changin for the better or the worse searching for a shrine he's never found #never knowing if believing was a blessing or a curse or if the goin up was worth the coming down #he's a poet (he's a picker) he's a prophet (he's a pusher) he's a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he's stoned #he's a waLKING CONTRADICTION! #PARTLY TRUTH! AND PARTLY FICTION! #TAKING EVERY WRONG DIRECTION ON HIS LONELY WAY BACK HOME!!! #there's a lotta wrong directions. on that lonely way back home :( #black sails
