Linden Arden Stole The Highlights Lyrics - Veendon Fleece - Van Morrison

Linden Arden stole the highlights -- 

With one hand tied behind his back -- 

Loved the morning sun, and whiskey 

Ran like water in his veins 

Loved to go to church on Sunday 

Even though he was a drinking man 

When the boys came to San Francisco 

They were looking for his life 

But he found out where they were drinking 

Met them face to face outside 

Cleaved their heads off with a hatchet 

Lord, he was a drinkin' man 

And when someone tried to get above him 

He just took the law into his own hands

Linden Arden stole the highlights 

And they put his fingers through the glass 

He had heard all those stories many, many times before 

And he did not care no more to ask 

And he loved the little children like they were his very own 

He Said, "Someday it may get lonely." 

Now he's livin', livin' with a gun
