High Wide And Handsome

(アルバム： Honky Tonk Heaven - 2022)

He was born down in Nebraska
'Bout as confident as they come
But at 16 he caught a Greyhound
Decided he was going outlaw bound

Well he was mean as a bulldog
He wore a size 15 boot
He was tall as a mountain
'Bout as wide as one too

But he's a high, wide, and handsome, yeah, highwayman
Steal your girl and take you for your last dime
But you better move quick 'cause he's easy on the trigger
He's always gone before morning light

Well he met this girl named Tilly
She had black hair and hazel eyes
But the Feds finally caught up with him
And he was sneaking out on their wedding night

Well Tilly ran out in a scurry
Just in time to see them red tail lights drive off
From her lip hung a lit Pall Mall
From her mouth came a wanted man from Omaha

But he's a high, wide, and handsome, yeah, highwayman
Steal your girl and take you for your last dime
But you better move quick 'cause he's easy on the trigger
He's always gone before morning light

Play on that guitar boss

Well he made it back down to Nebraska
Judge gave him twenty-five to life
Well they caught him on extortion
Trying to cross that US-Mexico border line

But he's a high, wide, and handsome, yeah, highwayman
Steal your girl and take you for your last dime
But you better move quick 'cause he's easy on the trigger
He's always gone before morning light

Well you best be moving quick 'cause he's easy on the trigger
He's always gone before morning light
