"Highway Man" Cover Collaberation

Cover Collab with my YT friend Ricky. He's at Songster99 http://youtu.be/cZyvpAlf0k8 please check out his channel.
This is a classic from the Highway men, Willie, Waylon, Johnny, and Kristofferson.

"Highway Man"

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 born 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 Universe divide
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..

@Chinookrose Yea it really was! Ricky is a great guy and lays down some fine Willie Nelson!

[kaknockitoff]

I can't get over how good this is.

[eighthavenue]

@kaknockitoff Ricky and I have had a bunch of nice comments on this song. I swear I can't tell anymore if a post is going to do well or get panned! I think the contrasting vocals helped make it a little more interesting. But thank you!!

[dusstead]

This is one of the best things i've heard for a while, great collab! ....love it....faved

[eighthavenue]

@dusstead Yea this was fun!  Appreciate that Brian!

[kaknockitoff]

@eighthavenue The contrasting vocals do add interrest.. I know what you mean about not being able to tell whether they will hate or love a post... I've had some posts sit there with no comment for months and then someone comes along and swears they would die to get to hear it... Theres one I hate how I sound with a passion and someone out there swears its my best post. I like anything Ricky posts... he's got a humble, personable way about him that's very refreshing. Your voice is amazing.

@ChoctawSpirit

This was a bunch of fun! I will tell you tho you have no idea how much editing this requires! First you have to patch the vocals together then the vid then you have to time it all up so the lips move right with the words. The end result was worth it tho. I hope Ricky's in for more? My mom used to have to tie a pork chop around my neck to get the dog to play with me! Thanks Celia have a beautiful day!

[ChoctawSpirit]

WOW you guys!! This is excellent. I thought I was back in Texas there for awhile (where I was first exposed to the Highwaymen)
