Here's a great song about past lives...it came out when I was 6 years old...simply one of the greatest songs ever. The Highwaymen 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 '25 But I'm still alive... I was a sailor I was born upon the tide With the sea I did abide I sailed a schooner round the horn of Mexico I went aloft and furled the main sail in a blow And when the yard broke off they say that I got killed But I'm living still... I was a dam builder Across a river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide At a place called Boulder, on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that grey tomb that knows no sound But I'm 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...
