He was born down in Nebraska
'Bout as corn-fed as they come
But at sixteen, he caught a Greyhound
Decided he was goin' outlaw bound
Well, he was mean as a bulldog
He wore a size fifteen 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 mornin' 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 sneakin' 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 lip balm mark
From her mouth came the name of 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 mornin' light
Play on that guitar, boy
Well, he made it back down to Nebraska
Judge gave him twenty-five to life
But they caught him on extortion
Tryin' to cross that U.S.-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 mornin' light
Well, you better move him quick 'cause he's easy on the trigger
He's always gone before mornin' light
