Song 246 (The Highwaymen--"The Highwayman")

A while ago I came across this song and was very much intrigued. The band "The Highwaymen" were a Supergroup that is made up of Country superstars: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. The song was written by the famous songwritter Jimmy Layne Webb; it deals with the subject of reincarnation and how the man in the story meets his death many times but never is gone. One interesting aspect of the song is that it really has no chorus. All of the singers sing a different verse; their vocals are excellent. I love Johnny Cash's verse in particular; it gives no closure and the man is wandering to find the end of it all and ponders becoming a highwayman again.
