O The Highwaymen foi um grande super-grupo formado em meados dos anos 80, por 4 lendas do 'Outlaw Country' americano, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash e Kris Kristofferson, que além de grandes amigos, são reconhecidos até hoje como mestres do estilo e dispensam qualquer tipo de apresentação. Neste primeiro disco, o nome "Highwaymen" ainda não era oficial, passando a ser no terceiro disco. O nome do grupo veio inspirado da música "Highwayman"

************* IT IS WHAT IT IS *************
written by Stephen Burton and John Fleming
performed by Waylon Jennings Kris Kristofferson Willie Nelson Johnny Cash
Verse 1: E I've been obnoxious
I've been unconscious
I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell A I've been unruly
Speakin' truly
I've been so cool i couldn't hardly even stand myself
Verse 2: E I've been a monster
Without a sponsor
I've been Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde A I've been a goner
I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
Hell,i'm a nice bunch of guys
Chorus: BAE I am what i am 'cause i ain't what i used to be BAE 'Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be
Verse 3: E I been a mover
I was a shaker
You had a girlfriend
I tried to snake her A I've been mysterious
I've been delirious
I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man
Verse 4: E I wanted money
I wanted power
I want a monument
Kind of like the Eiffel Tower A I've been lost at sea
I've been lost in space
And when i fall in love
I fall all over the place
Chorus.
Verse 5: A And you can go on forever and make the same mystakes B Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate A Go on and do until you finally see B What it is that you was that you don't want to be
Verse 6: E I was an outlaw
I was an in-law
I was a scapegoat
That was the last straw A I hit the highway
Singin' my way
But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone
Verse 7: E I got a story
Reflected glory
Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life A I heard the laughter
