Willie’s version of the song of outlaws going to other planets… imho.. or; their outlaw spirits live for the moment and move on to other adventures or quietly find a hideout with their reckless woman, silver stallion and retire as old folks.
He does sound impeccably on point here, each note sounds ideally executed, just flows so smoothly through his unique deeper sound. It simply sounds perfect, flawless, like a gall dang polished diamond in the mix it’s so well matched to the song in every aspect. Waylon was the best,…
Waylon's wink, Johnny's smile, clean shaved Kris and Willie's mullet. Absolute charm, country and the soul of America condensed into a little over 3 minutes of timeless music.
I would agree, You could say a few of the other songs should have gotten more recognition, works like Silver Stallion, The Road Goes on Forever(and the Party Never Ends) Raised in the Black and White.
RIP Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings I’m not even that big of a country music fan but these four highwaymen sure are great musicians and I love listening to their music. No matter what music community you may come from, there is absolutely NO denying that Cash, Nelson, Kristofferson, and Jennings were (and still are) legends that live on and will live on! They were in deed a unique form of country music, even in the realm of their sub-genre known as “outlaw country.”
Sure? Reggie Young was one of four guitar players on the Highwayman 2 album. And he played this on their recorded live show in 1990, and it sounds almost identical as this.
These men were sent from God to heal our hearts. I live with chronic debilitating Illness but when I listened to these men sing I forget my troubles. Thank you God for these beautiful men❤❤❤❤
I was watching Hee-Haw, when the Highwaymen sang; “Highwayman” before Hee-Haw was canceled.. i froze and the song itself reminded me we might have lived in different times and places.. Marty Robbins’ “El Paso City” hit me the same way. I feel my wife isn’t on this planet at this time juncture and I’m a romantic fool looking for her.. I inherited my grandmother’s cancer, and my dad’s high blood pressure with my mom’s diabetes. What wonderful luck! 🤣
Amazing @@charlie81980. I mean...such insight leaves speechless, really. What he's referring to, though, is the ethos of American culture. These men and their music are the personification of what most people over the age of 35 would consider "America/n" These same people lament the degradation of the America they represent.
I remember playing this at my dads funeral in 2017, haven’t listened to it since let alone played it,decided I’d sit down with my newest guitar and new pedal set up, I could feel my dad watching me as I played it and I somehow remembered all the lead guitar and the lyrics, almost tearing up now.
I listened to it today because it reminds me of my brother who looked like Kris Kristofferson, road on cattle roundups (and was so disappointed that the round ups were done on motorcycle, not on horseback), our father was Jack can’t get away from the lyrics on this one. Miss him everyday.
Your never gonna hear music like this again,unless it's a recording .you can't duplicate this this kind of talent and wonderful history of 4 great musicians. Enjoy my friends!
Johnny Cash is so damn awesome . The stuff he's done. The stuff with highwaymen. Original punk. Sometimes I just start crying, specially with this song. So good. Few like him will ever be. !!
Stone country! And that guitar work is hypnotic. When Willie sings, "I'm gonna chase the sky forever," then it's time to close shop and go home or head out for a drink.
As a Texan now living in the valleys of Southern Colorado, that particular line resonates with me more than any other in the song. There are so few places left where the sky is as open as it was 300 years ago.
'Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind'. Anyone else ever feel like that sometimes? Classic line and song writing performed by a crew of the best of the best.
There's more talent on this stage than all of today's country put together, wish you guys were here today, Lord knows we could use the help. 18K beautiful people.
Now that I live in Arizona, I go by where they filmed this often on the weekends. It seems the video is about carrying on traditions and keeping the past alive, and how we are still fully able to enjoy what made the wild west great. At least I see it that way, because I am doing my best to live it out. :)
@@peterwettersten6680 Old Tucson they call it, a film studio and theme park on the west side of Tucson. When they ride off on the motorcycle at the end they're heading off west, away from Tucson.
There's something quite unique about this song which touches the heart with overwhelming feelings of patriotism, loss, hurt, sorrow, victory, overcoming, love, nostalga, all rolled into one. These men have so much character in their voices, eyes and expressions, they are a great band. I hope to these men in God's imminent coming Kingdom! I hope Glen Campbell & Charlie Pride will be there to. Looking forward to seeing Charlie Pride in concert here in QLD Australia in April 2019, love old Charlie. God bless from an aussie fan.
Honestly what has happened to the world we live in today - what has happened to music these days it makes me sad that I have grown up in this generation with the music these days.I come to songs like this with genuine meaning and sincerity and think wth has happened.I belong further back than my parents ;( I don't belong in this generation...RIP Johnny and Waylon may you and the many others that have gone rest in peace forever
A band comprised of best buds. To be a fly on the wall of those hangouts. 👽🚀I love the way they use the different age brackets to tell a story in the song hiwayman.🤠 It shows a progression of a character. 👻💀 👴🏻🧔🏻👨🏻
These Highwaymen will live on forever. The different emotions this song brings up in me are endless. Appreciate life as it slips by too damn fast... that’s the beauty of it though.
“KNOWING this was filmed where “The High Chaparral”, “Joe Kidd”, “Rio Lobo”, “Rio Bravo” and many of my favorite Westerns were filmed, it’s DESTINY to see where I was raised and visited many times - Old Tucson.” To see the same backroads on a motorcycle as the couple who ride away … WOW! ~ I post this from a High rise Apartment, 2 blocks from Time Square. ~
My mom loves the higywayman so much, her two favorite songs were this one and the Highwayman. She passed away 8 years ago and i still can't listen to these songs without crying. I miss her much...

R.I.P. Kris Kristofferson. May you ride that silver stallion forever. :(
We lost another Highwayman. Willie’s the last one standing 😢💔
RIP Kris 6/22/36 - 9/28/24
Just because your hero dies doesn't mean they stop being your hero. We're still going to ride.
He is with the riders in the sky now…. Immortal!
Willie Nelson the last highwayman standing 😢
God bless Willy RIP to Cash Jennings and Kristofferson
❤@@BJ-jt7bz
💔💔💖💖
God bless him and smoke one for the other 3
The highwaymen; four friends, four actors, four song writers four entertainers = Four legends.
Four immortals
Four horsemen!
@@samuelmelo4755 four ghostriders!
Four Democrats God bless Hillary.
We’ve gotta build a new Mount Rushmore of these four.
anyone else get chills from the underlying guitar or is that just me? Hits deep.
Truly does my friend, you're not the only one!
Willie’s version of the song of outlaws going to other planets… imho.. or; their outlaw spirits live for the moment and move on to other adventures or quietly find a hideout with their reckless woman, silver stallion and retire as old folks.
The lyrics are what give me the chills.
That's Reggie Young...watch him play on the live version
absolutely
where the hell was i when these boys were making music with this band?..i wish they were together today..
Waylon’s verse in this song is absolutely unbelievable
so is willies mullet
I disliked this just to like it again Simon
Waylon’s voice excites me
Especially that first line--"I'm gonna find me a reckless woman..."
He does sound impeccably on point here, each note sounds ideally executed, just flows so smoothly through his unique deeper sound. It simply sounds perfect, flawless, like a gall dang polished diamond in the mix it’s so well matched to the song in every aspect. Waylon was the best,…
Waylon's wink, Johnny's smile, clean shaved Kris and Willie's mullet. Absolute charm, country and the soul of America condensed into a little over 3 minutes of timeless music.
Hello Connie. How are you doing?
The soul of America...I love that!
You observed it so well!!
hell yea buddy
Johnny the big tough man in black had a smile that could light up a room,rip Waylon + Johnny.
Love the Lyrics "Teach Him He Can Trust Me Like A Brother"
RIP Kris, hope you're riding that silver stallion.😢
Huge Waylon fan, have never heard this before and 😮, can see why it was never played on the radio.
My brothers used to party with Waylon back in the day before he became famous, no bs!
Waylon is the Man!
@@AletaNichols-mk9yz ( load of bullshit )
No bs!
Johnny's smile in here is so heart warming somehow.
no auto tune here. just pure talent
This is such an underrated song
I would agree, You could say a few of the other songs should have gotten more recognition, works like Silver Stallion, The Road Goes on Forever(and the Party Never Ends) Raised in the Black and White.
I could listen to this song for hours and not get bored
Correction YEARS
Same here! There is so much nuance. I love the way Kris' S's slide. The way Jennings wails in his verse.
Correction, decades
truth
RIP Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings

Agreed. Outlaw and these 4 ascend Country. So does Patsy Cline. She is too good to be called any “genre” of a singer.
This is the only kind of country I’ll listen to “ Outlaw Country “
@@basketballadigonzalez5561 Me too. Other country is too many emotions and not enough satire. Outlaw country is good though.
I'm so glad I did overed this!!!
And legends all 4 are Willie Waylon Kris and Johnny are❤
Rip legend. Will keep playing your music until my end of days.
20 years ago Waylon Jennings died. He past to early❤️ Rest In Peace. From a fan in Norway
man.. when i see johnny smile i miss him to hard..
same man
Indeed
It's a good thing that I'm not the only one that happens to
Love was my alibi
same I also miss Waylon a little bit too
I just noticed Waylon gives a wink also after his verse
Lee Meakins he knows what he was doing. Haha
YEAH AND THEN HE SMILES AND IT MAKES ME WANNA CRYYYY
We all miss him too much😭
Jonny did too
@@johnosceola2468 That's because Waylon was/is a true pro...
“I’m gonna chase the sky forever” pulls at my heart every damn time lol what a beautiful song
Each time I hear Waylon sing: "I'm gonna find me a reckless woman...", I shudder. His voice is so sweet, absolutely great.
Yessssss 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Lot of times a ‘reckless woman’ finds her outlaw.. when the time is right.
hell yea buddy
Sweet? his voice is haunting and Ghostly
Yes
“I want to chase the sky forever”… you will Willie, along with Johnny, Waylon and Kris.
Respect for these country legends. ❤️
Hello Lisa 👋 how are you??
With a woman,the stallion and the wind.
4 of the greatest outlaws in country music heros forever
Richard Sorgman yep mearl haggard
Richard Sorgman they are all legends of country music
The legendary Shawn Lane plays the guitar on this haunting song.
RIP Johnny, Waylon and Shawn.
Sure?
Reggie Young was one of four guitar players on the Highwayman 2 album. And he played this on their recorded live show in 1990, and it sounds almost identical as this.
It sure sounds like Lane
it was Shawn....I was close friends...I remember it well...Reggie and Shawn played on the album
This is Reggie Young playing on this song..
who is Shawn Lane?
I love when Johnny smiles
I've 33 years, i'm french and i love waylon, Kris Johnny, Willy... I loooove thE highwaymen!! Juste à legends for me
.. thanks
These men were sent from God to heal our hearts. I live with chronic debilitating Illness but when I listened to these men sing I forget my troubles. Thank you God for these beautiful men❤❤❤❤
Amen Jennifer! Doesn't their music have a way of transcending time? I might have to put a request in to play this song and Highwayman at my funeral.

What happened to music like this what happened to country music in general
+Hunter Jarrell Damned straight yo, country music now days sucks donkey balls it's all just wanna be pop music & just sucks ass!!!
everyone wants to hear pop and crap like that... heck I'm 11 and I love all of these guys. willie Nelson and johnny cash are my particular favorites
+Rory K me to but I'm 12
Pop flushed it down the toilet. I really miss the classic country
I miss real country like this. Miss Waylon and Johnny. Mostcountry singers have turned into rappers or metal people. Discusting.
Billy,III
"I'm gonna chase the sky forever"
I feel that
Man I miss the original country music singers. "BACK WHEN COUNTRY WAS COUNTRY". When America was America..
America is still America
Amazing @@charlie81980. I mean...such insight leaves speechless, really.
What he's referring to, though, is the ethos of American culture. These men and their music are the personification of what most people over the age of 35 would consider "America/n"

@@ricksta5350 cope
If only you knew how bad it would become….
@@charlie81980ignorant take
Where has this song been all of my life? flying down the highway with it cranked up today. Its just to damn good.
Very heart touching song
Here for my daily listen.
I remember playing this at my dads funeral in 2017, haven’t listened to it since let alone played it,decided I’d sit down with my newest guitar and new pedal set up, I could feel my dad watching me as I played it and I somehow remembered all the lead guitar and the lyrics, almost tearing up now.

So touching and he was with you 😌
So touching and he was with you 😌
So touching and he was with you 😌
Riding like a 1 eyed Jack of diamonds with the Devil close behind were gonna ride!
This is Americana , its priceless.
The guitar the vocals the drums every single thing about this song by Highwaymen is absolute perfection
Your never gonna hear music like this again,unless it's a recording
.you can't duplicate this this kind of talent and wonderful history of 4 great musicians. Enjoy my friends!
"riding like a one eyed jack of diamonds, with the devil close behind..." Jesus these guys are underrated. Miss ya boys
hot damn that's a hot track!
The 4 hokage of music
Amazing song it will always be a timeless classic ❤
When I think of escaping the city this song always comes to me. One day I'll saddle up and ride, destination badlands of New Mexico.
Santa Fe and Albuquerque for me.
Love Cash's cheeky smile at 0:58
Johnny Cash is so damn awesome . The stuff he's done. The stuff with highwaymen. Original punk. Sometimes I just start crying, specially with this song. So good. Few like him will ever be. !!
I agree, Johnny Cash is amazing, as are the rest of the highwaymen.
I feel you brother !
and me Andrew.Crying now.Just such a beautiful song
Him and Waylon Jennings
I ❤️The Highwaymen. I love all the wink's in this video 😁❤️
Love Johnny's wink and a smile. Miss him, but his music lives on.
God bless our country outlaws, may they be around always!

My favorite line in the whole song. These guys are legends, rip Waylon and Cash. So glad we still have Willie and Kris. ❤️
+Lisa Knell, legends indeed! Like The Beatles, who also dabbled lightly in country, it is depressing how the band now has only half of its members.
That guitar is the late Shawn Lane. Seek his music.
As a Texan now living in the valleys of Southern Colorado, that particular line resonates with me more than any other in the song. There are so few places left where the sky is as open as it was 300 years ago.

Wonderful song, great musician, miss all a lot!!
Johnny's smile is so great
It's always great for the awesome memories of the '80s and '90s for Highwaymen!
I love this recording by the highwaymen. I practically wore it out playing it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤the background music is fantastic.
when Waylon comes in 😍🙏👌
He steals it, far as I'm concerned. That impish grin at the end of his verse, perfect. RIP.
Waylon's verse is epic, along side the guitarists chords, timeless music, I Love it
Yes... What about when Waylon comes on?
Waylon is my favorite
After 30 years, had never heard this song before, until a few days ago on the Alex Jones show. This is good country music!!!
Johnny's wink at 0:56 always gets me, lol.
Let's not forget the 5th Highwayman, The Great Reggie Young!!
ONE of my favorite songs
Never seen the video ❤
One of the best groups of all time.
Love the theme transition from cowboys to bikers.
RIP Kris Kristofferson, ride well highwayman
Awesome song.
They hit #25 in Billboard, 4-28-90. RIP, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.

I don't care if Willy is wearing a mullet, or braids. The guy's a real man.
ok didn't ask
@@MsRandomfunnystuff he didn't ask for your snide comment either.
You look in the dictionary under the word, "Mullet", That mullet should be there.
Canadian Deegen I didn’t ask you
nothing wrong with braids, cherokee roots and all
This song gives me chills. These were/are some of the last greats. Real men.
Wow. This is true country. Just beautiful the song and video.
God took two of them and he’s gunning for the other two so he can have the whole band
Every second with them is great
One of the first songs on my road trip playlist. This is a classic!
The greatest country artists teamed up, and made the greatest country song of all time.
Real Men❤❤❤❤
Literally the most innovative country stars. They never bore me
My dad played this a lot when I was a kid so it has a lot of nostalgic value to me
Honestly what has happened to the world we live in today - what has happened to music these days it makes me sad that I have grown up in this generation with the music these days.I come to songs like this with genuine meaning and sincerity and think wth has happened.I belong further back than my parents ;( I don't belong in this generation...RIP Johnny and Waylon may you and the many others that have gone rest in peace forever
Greed of the music industry that’s what’s happen
Just be grateful you know what real music is
And then there was one
Rest in Peace Kris Kristoferson! ❤😢
This is what country music should sound like.
I miss being a kid hearing this 4 to 5 times before the next song
A band comprised of best buds. To be a fly on the wall of those hangouts. 👽🚀I love the way they use the different age brackets to tell a story in the song hiwayman.🤠
It shows a progression of a character. 👻💀 👴🏻🧔🏻👨🏻
I LOVE THESE MEN BEYOND WORDS
💝💝💝💝
Life will never be the same!
2023, still listening to this gem. legends ♥️
