Dr. Constance McCashin. former star of Knots Landing! You are a RUDE poster who posts insensitive posts at the most inopportune times. Now dear, my question is this-. You are always polishing off a pint of Haagen Daz, a pint of Chunky Monkey, a bag of Kit Kats-.
Written by Jimmy Webb, Highwayman is a song about reincarnation, with each of the singer's taking a verse (Nelson sang about being a bandit; Kristofferson, a sailor). It hit Number One in 1985, making it the group's only chart-topper.
And it was written by Stan Jones, who grew up in the border town of Douglas, Arizona, where his boyhood experiences inspired this famous song as well as many of the over 200 songs that he wrote and published after reluctantly retiring from the Park Service.
