(Dennis DeYoung)
I am the thief of the highway
Rich man you better take hold

'Cause last night while you lie sleeping
I came to steal all your gold


All the King's horses
All the King's men
Surrounded the chapel

To trap me within

A Lady in waiting

Lips red with rouge
She offered me pleasures
I could not refuse

No, no, no

For I was born

Born for adventure
Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender

Live by the sword till the end

All the King's horses

All the King's men
Were drinking and dancing
At Fezewig's Inn


They spoke of my capture
And of my escape

They called it misfortune
But I called it fate
No, no, no


For I was born
Born for adventure

Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end
