[Verse 1]
There’s an old code of honor that’s fading away
Worth remembering if we only would
And though that old code of honor may not mean too much today
That old code would do this world a world of good
It started out at the round table, when arthur was the king
When the knight was loyal to one lady fair
And though handshakes, rings and promises to some don’t mean a thing
They did not die with [?] and [?]
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
[Verse 2]
I was a knight in shining armour, when i rode into you life
I came riding down the trail to save the day
And now my armour is getting rusty, i’m not a hero anymore
Still i will not saddle up and ride away
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
There’s something that old soldiers and old cowboys know
Only when you keep your promises will the seeds of honour grow
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
There’s an old code of honor that’s fading away
Worth remembering if we only would
And though that old code of honor may not mean too much today
That old code would do this world a world of good
It started out at the round table, when arthur was the king
When the knight was loyal to one lady fair
And though handshakes, rings and promises to some don’t mean a thing
They did not die with [?] and [?]
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
[Verse 2]
I was a knight in shining armour, when i rode into you life
I came riding down the trail to save the day
And now my armour is getting rusty, i’m not a hero anymore
Still i will not saddle up and ride away
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
There’s something that old soldiers and old cowboys know
Only when you keep your promises will the seeds of honour grow
[Chorus]
Honor bound, honor bound
It’s time to cross the line and stand your ground
A heart that beats without honor is just an empty sound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
Love is not free until it’s honor bound
