The Highwaymen - Angels Love Bad Men Lyrics
[Cash:]
When his stolen gold has turned to rust,

Wonderin' if he'll ever know,
The hurt she's feelin'...

The Highwaymen - True Love Travels A Gravel Road Lyrics

The Highwaymen - Two Stories Wide Lyrics
Come out of the darkness.
Don't hide in the night.
Come out in the sunshine.

And it's too deep to measure.

She stepped down from her carriage,
At Ten Vermillon Street.

Little do they kno...
