About the song
“Silver Stallion: A Timeless Journey”
Remember those long, dusty roads that seemed to stretch on forever? The kind where the wind whipped through your hair and the sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows? The Highwaymen have a way of transporting us back to those simpler times with their music. And “Silver Stallion” is no exception.
This classic country tune paints a vivid picture of a lone rider on a trusty steed, traversing the vast open plains. The lyrics are filled with imagery of freedom, adventure, and the untamed spirit of the American West. Johnny Cash’s deep, resonant vocals anchor the song, while Willie Nelson’s harmonica adds a touch of melancholy.
There’s something undeniably nostalgic about “Silver Stallion”. It’s a song that evokes memories of simpler times and the enduring allure of the open road. But beyond the nostalgia, there’s also a sense of timeless wisdom. The Silver Stallion can be seen as a metaphor for life’s journey, with its ups and downs, twists and turns.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of country music or simply appreciate a well-crafted song, “Silver Stallion” is a must-listen. It’s a reminder that some things never go out of style, and that the power of music can transport us to any time or place.

Lyrics
I’m gonna steal me a silver stallion,
with not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach me he can trust me like a brother,
one day we’ll saddle up and ride
And we’re gonna ride,
we’re gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We’re gonna ride
I’m gonna find me a reckless woman,
razor blades and dice in her eyes
Just a touch of sadness in her fingers,
thunder and lightning in her thighs
And we’re gonna ride,
we’re gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We’re gonna ride
I’m gonna chase the sky forever,
with the woman and the stallion and the wind
And the sun is gonna burn into a cinder,
before we ever pass this way again
And we’re gonna ride,
we’re gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds with the devil close behind
We’re gonna ride
