A/N: I was listening to a classic country station when this song came on. It is one of my favorites and it got me thinking how appropriate this is for our favorite hero in green. My attempt here is pathetic since I have no musical talent to speak of but I think the general idea is there. I love country music and Legend of Zelda and as such find that every once in a while I will imagine how the characters from the game would fit into the song perfectly. There are two songs I think would be fun to do "Why'd you come in here looking like that?" by Dolly Parton and "Big Iron" by Marty Robbins. In Dolly's song I could see it from Zelda's viewpoint after having broken up with Link. She and her friends (Malon, Ruto, Ilia; the usual gang) are at a bar when of course Link comes in with some friends and thus the fun begins. In Marty's song well that is practically just screaming of the duel between Gannon and Link. However, as I said I'm not great at music so I am not going to attempt them. To anyone who is musically gifted in the lyrics area I would recommend taking a stab at one or both. Anyway I'll shut up now put in the disclaimers and let you read.
I do not own or have ever performed the song "Highwaymen" nor do I take credit for the lyrics of the original song. "Highwaymen" belongs to its performers Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings and writer, Jimmy Webb. This is a parody only. I also do not own any of the Legend of Zelda Characters.
Highway Heroes
I was a hero boy
Through time did I slide
with sword and shield by my side
Many a young maid lost her heart to my spell
Many of foe felt my blade as they fell
I left this land with much regret
But I watch over it yet
I was a islander
I was born upon Outset Isle
on my birthday I wore green and all was normal for a while
I sailed with the Red King on the Great Sea to and fro
I made the wind to gust and bellow
Beneath the waves did I descend
I pirate princess did I defend
I was a goat herder
In the fields I did ride
Where man and goat did collide
From place called Ordon to a realm of Twilight black
I traveled with an imp upon my back
As a wolf I ran far unbound
But I am still around
I'll always be around and around and around
And around and around and around
I fly a Crimson Loftwing
Across the clouds far and wide
And when I reach the Surface side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps, I may become a hero once again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again and again and again
And again and again and again
