| Johnny Cash – The Highwayman Lyrics | 12 years ago |

Per the songwriter - "I didn’t know where the song was going. Then I realized that this guy doesn’t really die in the first verse. He’s reincarnated. I thought, “Where does this soul go?” The verses started to evolve. He becomes a sailor, then a dambuilder. Then the best idea for me was switching the tense into the future and say, “I’ll fly a starship across the universe divide until I reach the other side.” - http://performingsongwriter.com/jimmy-webb-highwayman/ |
