[00:01.706]I was a Highwoman
[00:04.399]And a mother from my youth
[00:07.549]For my children I did what I had to do
[00:13.264]My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas
[00:18.107]We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico
[00:22.680]Every one of them except for me survived
[00:27.987]And I am still alive
[00:35.370]I was a healer
[00:38.155]I was gifted as a girl
[00:42.971]I laid hands upon the world
[00:46.320]Someone saw me sleeping naked in the noon sun
[00:52.212]I heard "witchcraft" in the whispers and I knew my time had come
[00:57.099]The bastards hung me at the Salem gallows hill
[01:02.536]But I am living still
[01:06.924]I was a freedom rider
[01:09.586]When we thought the South had won
[01:13.119]Virginia in the spring of '61
[01:17.217]I sat down on the Greyhound that was bound for Mississippi
[01:24.170]My mother asked me if that ride was worth my life
[01:29.626]And when the shots rang out I never heard the sound
[01:34.188]But I am still around
[01:38.303]And I'll take that ride again
[01:40.810]And again
[01:42.317]And again
[01:43.557]And again
[01:44.795]And again
[01:52.621]I was a preacher
[01:55.908]My heart broke for all the world
[01:59.455]But teaching was unrighteous for a girl
[02:04.207]In the summer I was baptized in the mighty Colorado
[02:10.105]In the winter I heard the hounds and I knew I had been found
[02:15.005]And in my Savior's name, I laid my weapons down
[02:20.009]But I am still around
[02:27.215]We are The Highwomen
[02:28.838]Singing stories still untold
[02:33.944]We carry the sons you can only hold
[02:38.835]We are the daughters of the silent generations
[02:43.959]You sent our hearts to die alone in foreign nations
[02:48.426]It may return to us as tiny drops of rain
[02:53.388]But we will still remain
[02:57.801]And we'll come back again and again and again
[03:02.706]And again and again
[03:08.079]And we'll come back again and again and again
[03:12.958]And again and again
