If He Came Back Again

The Highwaymen

Transposer:

If He Came Back Again The Highwaymen [Intro] [Verse] You’d have thought a king had died The way those people cried Instead of one more broken entertainer It struck those in his trade He could have had it made If he’d only been a little saner   They traveled far to see him Oh the humble and the high They said goodbye as if he were a friend Now somewhere he is smiling On those who idolized him But would they even recognize him If he came back again? He was born of modest means But had outrageous dreams They never let him rest Till he fulfilled them While he rode that train of song His devils tagged along The whiskey and the pills Just couldn’t kill him He didn’t mean to be a rebel Ah the real ones never do They’re born apart from ordinary men   And somewhere he is smiling On those who sanctified him But would they even recognize him If he came back again? It’s an old familiar story But it’s a damn shame none the less They don’t forgive his kind Till they lay them down to rest And somewhere he is smiling On those who idolized him But would they even recognize him If he came back again? Oh if he came back again

La chanson évoque la vie d'un artiste célèbre, qui, malgré son succès, a souffert de ses démons personnels et de l'addiction. Elle parle de la manière dont les gens pleurent sa perte, le cherchant comme une figure familière, tout en se demandant s'ils auraient vraiment reconnu son essence s'il revenait. Ce personnage, né de conditions modestes avec de grands rêves, a tenu tête aux attentes, mais il est souvent célébré seulement après sa mort, laissant une réflexion mélancolique sur la reconnaissance et le jugement. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être perçu comme une critique de la société qui glorifie les artistes après leur décès, tout en les ayant souvent ignorés ou mal compris de leur vivant. C'est un rappel que les vraies valeurs et la reconnaissance sincère sont parfois réservées à ceux qui ne sont plus là pour en profiter.
