I preferred Waylon singing it but this is my favorite song Kris wrote. " Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies " is a great line.

Only one highwayman left. RIP
Same for me. His family legacy was steeped in military service, as was expected of him. After amazing collegiate academic success resulting in Kristofferson being a Rhodes scholar, likely building his literary background and wizardry at great lyrics and "forever famous" music, he was commissioned in the US Army, completed helicopter pilot training and was stationed in Germany. His academic excellence propelled him into an assignment to teach at West Point, but his heart took his life for a turn into music ... and the rest is history to which we all love to listen.One of my favorites due to the common background in army aviation.
One of the best songs ever!I was a sailor
I was borne upon the tide
And with the sea, I did abide
I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
