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"

Intro: CGDG
GCG The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting DG The oranges are packed in the creoste dumps CG They're flying them back to the Mexican border D7G To save all their money and wade back again
GCD My father's own father he waded that river DG Others before him have done just the same CG They died in the hills and they died in the valleys D7G Some went to heaven with out any names
Chorus:
CG Goodbye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita DD7G Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria CG You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane D7G All they will call you will be Deportee
(Repeat Intro)
GCG Some of us are illegal and others not wanted DG Our work contracts out and we have to move on CG Six hundred miles to the Mexican border D7G They chase us like outlaws like rustlers, like thieves
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
GCG The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon DG A fireball of thunder that shook all the hills CG Who are all these dear friends scattered like dry leaves D7G The radio said they were just Deportees
