Gene :
Several years ago the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo had
The Highwaymen (Cash, Kristofferson,Jennings and Nelson)
for two shows. (I went both nights !!) The song you mentioned
was done by Johnny Cash and was very impressive with a hugh
Old Glory (on video) waving the entire height of the stage.
The line was part of a recitation that broke the song and I
wish I could remember more of it. Let me tell you, though,
it brought tears to this old redneck's eyes. If you do find
it, please post or e-mail me. Thanks !! Les
