There’s something about “I Still Miss Someone” that makes your chest ache. When Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings—The Highwaymen—sing it, you feel every word. Their voices, rough with years of pain and love, turn this song into a haunting cry for lost love.

Recorded live in American Outlaws: Live at Nassau Coliseum, this performance is raw emotion. Johnny Cash leads with his deep, sorrowful voice, while the others harmonize like ghosts of past regrets. The lyrics—“At my door the leaves are falling, a cold wild wind will come”—paint loneliness so real, you can almost feel the chill.

If “I Still Miss Someone” broke your heart, “Highwayman” will make you feel invincible. The same legends who made you cry now take you on a wild ride through life, death, and rebirth—proving why they’re country music’s ultimate outlaws.
