Last King of the Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He came from prison but he won't go back again He sees the ghosts in the mirror, remembers the chains Old grievances and old shames, still bubbling in his brain Beating ploughshares to armour, into the devil he became [Chorus] Last king of the road, last king of the road [Verse 2] Murderous man, no better than you And maybe no worse so what you gonna do? Riding over their fences with the whole world against him A mad lonely life, a mad lonely end [Chorus] Last king of the road, last king of the road [Verse 3] He clung to life like grim dеath to a dead volunteer He said therе's a greater court to judge all of you here Although he's always gonna hurt you Don't you know that he will never desert you [Chorus] Last king of the road, last king of the road Last king of the road, last king of the road Last king of the road, last king of the road [Verse 3] Although he's always gonna hurt you Don't you know that he will never desert you [Chorus] The last king of the road, last king of the road The last king of the road, last king of the road
