Story Behind The Song
As a tribute to the legacy of the infamous highwayman, I wrote an immersive acoustic instrumental that started with a rhythm simulating a horse gallop with a spaghetti western style lead. With AI assistance it became a full production and the foundation for a full AI generated album based on original compositions. Kgottleib@gmail.com

Lyrics
(Chorus 1)
its the last ride of the highway man,
he will kill and rob whoever he can,
does he take from the rich to give to the poor, or does he take for himself till he can take no more
Its the last ride of the highwayman,
but will he ride again, will he ride again
(Verse 1)
the coach made of steel simply will not yield,
till a bullet spills the blood of the whipster,
horses gallop on in a fury of madness,
trampling over a fallen rider
(Verse 2)
shot guns blast spreading lead so fast,
through the legs of the horse he rides,
so he shoots the whip and mounts the leader,
while his men throw a stick through the bars of the window
(Chorus 2)
it's the last ride of the highway man,
he will kill and rob whoever he can,
does he take from the rich to give to the poor, or does he take for himself till he can take no more
It's the last ride of the highwayman,
but will he ride again, will he ride again
