[00:00.000] 作词 : Amanda Shires/Brandi Carlile/Jimmy Webb
[00:00.853] 作曲 : Amanda Shires/Brandi Carlile/Jimmy Webb
[00:01.706] I was a Highwoman
[00:04.399] And a mother from my youth
[00:07.549] For my children I did what I had to do
[00:13.264] My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas
[00:18.107] We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico
[00:22.680] Every one of them except for me survived
[00:27.987] And I am still alive
[00:35.370] I was a healer
[00:38.155] I was gifted as a girl
[00:42.971] I laid hands upon the world
[00:46.320] Someone saw me sleeping naked in the noon sun
[00:52.212] I heard "witchcraft" in the whispers and I knew my time had come
[00:57.099] The bastards hung me at the Salem gallows hill
[01:02.536] But I am living still
[01:06.924] I was a freedom rider
[01:09.586] When we thought the South had won
[01:13.119] Virginia in the spring of '61
[01:17.217] I sat down on the Greyhound that was bound for Mississippi
[01:24.170] My mother asked me if that ride was worth my life
[01:29.626] And when the shots rang out I never heard the sound
[01:34.188] But I am still around
[01:38.303] And I'll take that ride again
[01:40.810] And again
[01:42.317] And again
[01:43.557] And again
[01:44.795] And again
[01:52.621] I was a preacher
[01:55.908] My heart broke for all the world
[01:59.455] But teaching was unrighteous for a girl
[02:04.207] In the summer I was baptized in the mighty Colorado
[02:10.105] In the winter I heard the hounds and I knew I had been found
[02:15.005] And in my Savior's name, I laid my weapons down
[02:20.009] But I am still around
[02:27.215] We are The Highwomen
[02:28.838] Singing stories still untold
[02:33.944] We carry the sons you can only hold
[02:38.835] We are the daughters of the silent generations
[02:43.959] You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations
[02:48.426] It may return to us as tiny drops of rain
[02:53.388] But we will still remain
[02:57.801] And we'll come back again and again and again
[03:02.706] And again and again
[03:08.079] And we'll come back again and again and again
[03:12.958] And again and again
