They were the Highwaymen
Not many tunes did they record
Yet, haunting were the hits they scored
They were the roadmen from some classic country times
They were the cowboy quartet great with tones and rhymes
Though two of four have gone where Heaven's souls arrive
Their music's still alive

First lost was Waylon, in two thousand two, he died
He penned great songs and sang with pride
Then, we lost Johnny Cash, with June, he had to go
Left is their legacy, like none the world will know
This lonely vacancy, their records, now must fill
So, they are living still

On Willie Nelson sings, and so does Kris Kristofferson
These two great artists are not done
And electronically all four still give a show
Play great performances, wherever soundwaves go
Yes, they are still around..They'll always be around..and around
And around, and around, and around

Though not by busses, across the towns and countryside
They are appearing far and wide
Two living legends and two spirits who began
We hear their ballads, and they're Highwaymen, again
Alive forever by a digital refrain
So they will remain
And will be heard again, and again, and again, and again, and again...
