Flint is Highwayman by the Highwaymen and Madi is Highwomen by the Highwomen but unfortunately Silver is The Pilgrim by Kris Kristofferson
#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
