Lyric Born For Adventure

Written by 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
