[Willie Nelson]
Was it bitter then
With our backs against the wall?
[Kris Kristofferson]
Were we better men
Than we'd ever been before?
[Willie Nelson]
Say, if she came again today
Would you still answer to the call?
[Kris Kristofferson]
Tell the truth my friend
Don't it matter anymore?
[Willie Nelson]
We were simple men
By her side when she was born
[Kris Kristofferson, spoken]
Talkin' about the dream
[Johnny Cash]
It was simple then
Like the freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then you see
But soon we gathered like a storm
They don't understand
What that thunder meant at all
Was it bitter then
With our backs against the wall?
[Kris Kristofferson]
Were we better men
Than we'd ever been before?
[Willie Nelson]
Say, if she came again today
Would you still answer to the call?
[Kris Kristofferson]
Tell the truth my friend
Don't it matter anymore?
[Willie Nelson]
We were simple men
By her side when she was born
[Kris Kristofferson, spoken]
Talkin' about the dream
[Johnny Cash]
It was simple then
Like the freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then you see
But soon we gathered like a storm
They don't understand
What that thunder meant at all
