My Dad and I were connected through music. As a kid I remember driving through the Colorado mountains with the top off his '69 Bronco listening to Willie, and singing Blue Skies and on The Road Again at the top of our lungs. Later in life we drove trucks together. We would hear a new song or artist and call each other and share the song. I was a pearl jam fam since my grunge days. When he first heard this version, he sent me the video. This became our song. Later when he got cancer, he and Watched the video again in hospice. It was my good bye. I played it in his funeral. It pops up on my speakers at some of the most ironic times, passing through our home town, passing his family farm in Nebraska, heading to his memorial, when I miss him. I feel like he is still around, and he sends it to me when he is near.

I like the version of it that they performed with the other two “highwaymen” Waylon and Willie. It was a bit slower and more down beat? If that makes sense. That version of this song really gets to me. It’s got more regret and a touch of sadness to it. Brings to mind that feeling we all get when we think about all the coulda shoulda wouldas in our lives.

At Christmas lunch 20 year back, this classic started. My father looked me in the eyes and said "This is you son." It was, in its special way, one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Dad is 80 now, November 11th at 11am, my time of birth, I complete the 53rd year of life. It probably comes across as a little odd without the back story.

For all his mistakes (drugs, alcohol) No one should ever feel the shame of being disowned by their own family as Kris was by his mother and his family. It is funny that the person whose mother deemed "an embarrassment" to their family would go on to be one of the most beloved songwriters in country music.

[@abg125]

Of course I agree with your statement, but we have to understand it was a different time back then, and also not so different. Think of it from Kris's parents perspective...in their mind they did everything they could to make Kris a "successful" adult in life. We all know that excelled in the military and in education by going to Oxford and after working a pretty lucrative job flying helicopters in the oil industry he turned down a cushy teaching position at West Point...to became a janitor/songwriter. This was in an era when women were homemakers and men made a living and supported the family. Class and etiquette were the social graces of the day...they couldn't understand why after all they did and Kris's hard work he would "throw it all away" to be what they considered the equivalent of a hobo-minstrel...That said, I'm one of the biggest Kristofferson fans in the world and don't condone or agree with the way they treated him. I'm glad he shirked the system and changed the face of country western music...that goes without saying, but I do "understand" their grievance, but I also would never do the same to my child and can't believe they never made amends...I know this still bothers Kris, but it's heartwarming to know how happy his family/children make HIM now...He's probably learned a lot about how to and how not to raise his own children through this....

@@UNMIRED I read recently he didn't speak to his mom for 20 yrs. Other articles give the impression they never made amends. Either way, it's truly horrible for the child, which is Kris, to be shunned as he was. It's never acceptable to not find a way to work that out, at some point. Be angry, fine...but then get over it.

Goddam. That singer on the right.. he’s sure got a way with his voice-casually tightroping between completely broken and vulnerable to calm and strong to as soulful and pure to be straight out from the high grass. The other guy has something too, but been remembering Kris a lot lately-the outlaw whose voice stole a millions hearts.

Thank you so much Rick. I was just about to ask you to sing this song and I COULDN'T believe it when I clicked on and there you were about to sing it RIP KRIS. I LOVED HIS SONGS. Blessings to you Rick. LOVE and PRAYERS FROM kilkenny IRELAND XXXX ❤❤❤❤

[@vincenzostr4488]

I was born on 22nd of June like Kris. I am so proud

[@lebe220]

Two great artists you can´t listen to without your heart being touched. Hardly anyone wrote so many wonderful songs as Kris did.

[@territribe2204]

You can see Kris absolutely loves Cash. True friendship.

[@JimPatton-m1i]

Absolutely fabulous! We saw these guys in person MANY times and it was outstanding every time. We miss them!!

[@karengardiner2924]

Oh my God I haven't heard this for years and now I have Goosebumps and I'm almost crying. I miss Johnny so much and now Kris is back singing with him again

[@Lisa-um4jm]

Rest easy Sir, thank you for all the songs that brought us joy 😭

[@RyanJohnson-ed5hv]

Rest in peace Kris. I will miss you. You wrote one of the greatest songs i ever heard. A song that i really related to back in my early 20s.

[@kennethcaine3402]

I love that song and I have lived it through my depression and I use to feel so alone on Sunday, thanks to the Good Lord I got past that, but it is so sad for A man to sit in Church and Cry.

[@tietzewerner9696]

Solche Typen gibt's nicht noch einmal!!! Ihre Hits müssen erhalten werden!!!

[@biggestkkfan1506]

auf jeden Fall! 😊

[@bettinahansen7630]

Absolut!

[@Leslie-es5ij]

One of the hardest songs to play, and one of the sweetest, he never let his education get in the way of his humanity ❤️

[@ellenrichardson7819]

You bet I'm listening friend. How how I miss Johnny and now Kris.

[@PursuingHeaven]

I have loved Johnny all my life - my favorite record album of my childhood was Ring of Fire, it was my parents and I play it so often it had scratches. Kris is the first person I ever remember having a Hollywood crush on, from Star is Born, I was in middle school at the time. He kept his own with Barbara.

[@jacquelineeichelberger2194]

Such a sad song but there is a certain sense of comfort in the words Beautiful song and such gentlemen They gave us so much love and appreciation to both of you❤❤

[@franzhillebold4386]

Johnny&Kris in Heaven Thanks for Music🙏

[@harrydonaldson1965]

Superb, you can't best on perfection!

[@KatieD4132]

From Jacksonville Beach Florida! Love both these guys

[@mayajrj]

Ohhhhhh KK and Cash. I love the way Kris writes, thinks and sings. How he comes up with such poetry ........ the words touch so many places. And Johnny Cash. Such a wonderful voice and a truly beautiful rendition of this song. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bubbachuck4910]

Just stumbled upon this. I was born 1970 and never heard this song. Great song, but what was even more amazing was the beginning. Kris says this may now be his proudest moment ever having Johnny Cash said he would be honored to sing this song with him. The humility and genuine kindness from both men just pours out. Does this even happen in today's music?

[@tomcomiskey6350]

Amazing , I was in Nam in 70 , at 18.

[@janavesela6791]

Vážení přátelé tohle je top country muziky , poslouchá to ještě někdo???❤❤❤

[@JohnNaturkach]

This song should be a national anthem somewhere. Don’t know why but every time I listen to it,it makes me cry. A good cry,mind you. 😊

[@THREESISTERS15]

Thank God for recording taping or whatever we can enjoy these very talented men. No one can take their places.
