Cash, Johnny - Highwayman Lyrics

We play this song in Ireland, at the funerals of those legends whom lost their lives young.
RIP all the faithful departed.
God bless Ireland & God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 ☘️ 🦅 🇮🇪
We cannot be defeated, even in death.

Four ways to die like a boss

Anyone from 2020

I'm here because of gta5

R.I.P. grandpa.. I will always think of you when I hear anything we sang together. I love you..

Legends right here just true advengers

i like honest songs. don't care where you come from. just like it.

Great powerful voices, some moved one other did not!

Thank you GTA V, for brought me the best music genre.
In germany we don't have good country music.

Plot twist; their personas they speak of are all really dead, and they're singing from the other side....

Feels Surreal

Im going to have this song as my funeral song

Adding this verse for the firies who just died in Australia's bush fires:

I was a fireman,

Towards the danger I've always gone
Axe in hand and helmet on

Burning buildings are where
men like me are made

I'd be a liar to say that
I was never afraid

Breathed the flames of hell
Just like any other day
and now I’m gone they say

But I’ll be back someday, someday, someday...

This is just perfect, it brought tears to my eyes. It fits with the melody perfectly as well. Willie and Chris are still around, you should try to see if this could be added to whoever holds the copyright and rights to this amazing song. Truly wonderful lyrics.

Would love to see an extended version of this song with more stories and artists...

This tune needs like 16 more verses

They love the rocks of the navajo nation

Well 6k folks with NO TASTE

bro why do 4 80 year old men have a youtube channel

B,di am still alive

Wow this is a really goo-

*Runs over old man*

Oh I gotta get my eyes checked!

"Or i may simply just be a drop of rain"
Beautiful line

I love this song i gonna take this song on my funeral

Uzanıp iki bira içerken dinlemelik parça

This is the most Buddhist song I’ve ever heard. Very beautiful.

Every nights the same...the Dodge truck keep revving it’s Cummins engine. it goes up and down the street every night(sigh) where are the Ontario party poopers when you need em?

Way better than the supposed Highwomen group.

Run run run run....

How ON EARTH was this NOT in The Highwaymen movie lol

The best country song EVER!

Favorite lyric: "cross the universe Devine"

This song is so profound,deep and Manly . “I’ll find a place to rest my spirit if a can” . They made the perfect song for highwaymen an truckers

I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid, lost her baubles to my trade


Many a soldier, shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me
In the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive


I was a sailor
I was borne upon the tide
And with the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn to Mexico


I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off
They said that I got killed
But I am living still


I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado


I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around, I'll always be around
And around and around and around and around


I fly a starship across the uni divine
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps, I may become a highwayman again


Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again and again
And again and again and again and again

So good

I love this song

I'm colored and feel scared

Be honest and admit everyone had a beer to this song

Whiskey dude

I could rock to this shit fuck yeah

These guys give me goosebumps!

This song has no business being this fucking good!

I knew this song from GTA V. Thanks, Rockstar...

Two of these legends are still alive today. RIP Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.

Best ever!

I was a Mandolarian by the name of Bobba Fett......

A many a bountys i did collect...

I flew my starship from Dagobah to the outer reaches....

They said i died in that Sarlacc pit in 2345...

But i did survive....and i will be back again and again and again...

Yes I do like it hands up

Legends enough said

Thing I love about the older generation they are more comfortable in their own skin. The direct approach may hurt some people but it's the best way. It's straight down the line. People's feelings do matter but it also needs to be understood that people are responsible for their own feelings. I can feel many things.. for some people it takes longer to get them under control but I would ask were they really mean or they didn't give the answer wanted?

Fucking nostalgia

We go from the 18th century, to the 19th, to the 20th and then out of nowhere Cash is all, "I'm James T. Kirk, deal with it!"

This song reminds me of my grandfather. I love you Papa!

The comments will be back again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again,
And again...

2:37 - 2:52

If N.W.A. made country music

More like if the Beatles made a country band

I just had the urge to show my 16 year old the hero's of country music!!

Hold on.country music is cheap now days.this is dope shit

I feel so manly when I listen to this...I just hit puberty as a boy

or I may be a single drop of rain - I 'll be back again .

A song that tries to decipher the crazy thing that we call life & it's afterlife.

Yas Paul ma san. Suzuki Nakamura’s aw defrosted

Rebel Radio!

How can 6000 people not like this? True country music sung by the best.

I found an old casette player and there was "greatest original country hits of the 80's" I listened to it and the last song was this and all these people sounded familiar.

I remember being forced to read two poems as part of the same unit for high school English, the highwayman and the Skelton key. I can’t find them. Help me.

I like this and idk y but the song remimds me of dick Turpin the highway man

This song reminds me of my Father

Greatest song ever

Dam truth man up

Petition to change mt Rushmore

A punch for the 6K that disliked..

This is GTA 5 rebel radio song

I am a Beer Drinker and a lot of beer I did drink I at the bar I took a shot of whiskey and I took it too far I don't even know how to play a guitar but I am drinking still

That aircraft looks like an F-5

Its an F20 Tigershark i believe

Kris Kristofferson is a hard mofo. From Daywalkers to Johnny Walker, he rides!!

Did I ever tell you about Trevor?

the history behind
Highwaymen is intriguing
fascinating
just one of many in historic events places and people..when someone can brings it to life for you .
its amazing

One of the most legendary songs in country music history. Rip Johnny and Waylon.

I heard this in gta5 I stole a car and this song was playing I shazamed it

I miss my dad 😭💔

Any other songs that are similar to this? Love the storytelling western style of this. Makes me want to play red dead 2

love the song, but the visual of the dummy falling down the side of the dam makes me laugh!

I was trying to find a roblox id for Rasputin but this was in my recommended.

Loki one of my favorite songs

Songs about reincarnation are so seldom mainstream, yet so poignant

Gra anyone

Johnny's smile smiles right into my heart everytime I watch this video.

Um. .. there is no Horn of Mexico...there IS one at the tip of South America, another at the tip of Africa, and maybe a few more scattered around the globe, but not one in Central America.

yucatan peninsula

Someone here from gta??

Damn, congratulations on a great video!

Highwayman, Africa, Hotel California, Take me Home. Legend songs.

This song makes me think of the true mysteries of the spirit 🔥🤘🐯

"Or I may simply be a single drop of rain..."

To me the most beautiful line of the song. It acknowledges the true nature of God, present in everything, the drop of rain as much a part of the highwayman as the sailor or dambuilder.

And what becomes of a drop of rain as it falls into the sea? What becomes of a body as it rots into the earth? What becomes of the Spirit as it returns to the Godhead?

That's the line that always gets to me.

From GTA 5 radio 📻

I fly a starship....

Everytime i watch this video I have a mangasam

Johnny cash is the greatest of them all

not this video for this song....sorry or bad lyrics or the video. i thkink is the video is mideocre compear to the idea...

This song reminds me of "The Great Art Bell"

Dedicated to Rufus Moody and John Deffenbaugh Great Men hard workers to the very end

I wish I could "thumbs up" this song a million plus times. Masterfully done!
