I'm ridin' through the heartland
A shadow in the night
My laptop's my six-shooter, my code is dynamite
From cityscape to prairie, on trains I make my rounds
I'm the ghost in the machine, where the lost becomes the found

They call me the Code Bandit
In whispers low and faint
I'm stealin' lines of wisdom
With every move I make
Ridin' on an endless journey
Beneath the blue soft light
I'm claimin' what ain't guarded
In the silence of the night

I've robbed the corporate cowboys
With their suits and shiny shoes
Empty out your briefcase, sir
I got nothin' left to lose
But I ride for the freedom
Of the open source and wide
Where the code is for the takin'
And the world is on my side

They call me the Code Bandit
A shadow on the rail
Leavin' traces of rebellion
Where others dare not sail
With every station passed
Another target in my sight
I'm writin' my own legend.
In the code I choose to write
