Eric Hilliard "Ricky" Nelson, later known as Rick Nelson (May 8, 1940 December 31, 1985), was an American singer, musician and actor. With more than 50 Hot 100 hits, Nelson was second only to Elvis Presley as the most popular rock and roll artist of the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1985, Nelson joined a nostalgia rock tour of England. It was a major success, and it revived some interest in his work. He tried to duplicate that effect in the United States, and he began a tour of the South. Nelson and his band boarded a plane after a show at a small club in Guntersville, Alabama headed to the KLUV-FM New Year's Eve Sock-Hop concert in Dallas, Texas. The plane crashed northeast of Dallas in De Kalb, Texas killing Nelson and six others. Nelson was buried in the Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

The Highwaymen were a country supergroup comprising four musicians well known for, among other things, their involvement and pioneering influence on the outlaw country subgenre: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Lyrics: I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride With sword and pistol by my side Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five But I am still alive. I was a sailor. I was born 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. I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide Where steel and water did collide A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and around and around I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Waylon Arnold Jennings (June 15, 1937 February 13, 2002) was an influential American country music singer and musician. A series of duet albums with Willie Nelson in the late 1970s culminated in the 1978 crossover hit, "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys". Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country singer-songwriter, author, poet and actor. Along with Nelson, Waylon Jennings was also achieving success in country music in the early 1970s, and the pair were soon combined into a genre called outlaw country ("outlaw" because it did not conform to Nashville standards). "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" is a country music song written by Ed Bruce and Patsy Bruce. It was made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, whose version was first released on their 1978 album Waylon & Willie. The song's lyrics advise mothers to raise their children as doctors or lawyers rather than cowboys, who seem to be "always alone." The Waylon & Willie version peaked at No. 1 in March 1978, spending four weeks atop the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart. Lyrics: Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold And they'd rather give you a song then diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded Levi's each night begins a new day And if you don't understand him and he don't die young He'll probly just ride away Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars and drive them old trucks Make 'em <b>...</b>

The Wilderness Road was the principal route used by settlers for more than fifty years to reach Kentucky from the East. In 1775, Daniel Boone blazed a trail for the Transylvania Company from Fort Chiswell in Virginia through the Cumberland Gap into central Kentucky. It was later lengthened, following Native American trails, to reach the Falls of the Ohio at Louisville. The Wilderness Road was steep and rough, and it could only be traversed on foot or horseback. Despite the adverse conditions, thousands of people used it. In 1792, the new Kentucky legislature provided money to upgrade the road. In 1796, an improved all-weather road was opened for wagon and carriage travel. The road was abandoned around 1840, although modern highways follow much of its route.

Lyrics: One evening as the sun went down And the circus it was over The tent came down and the funny old clown said, Boys, I'm now in clover I'm headed for a land that's far away beside the popcorn fountain Now I'll see you all this coming fall In the Big Rock Candy Mountain In the Big Rock Candy Mountain There's a land that's bright and fair Where the doughnuts grow on bushes And there's lots of cookies there Where the dogs and cats are happy And the sun shines everyday Where there's birds and bees in the bubble-gum trees By the lemonade springs And the whippoorwill sings In the Big Rock Candy Mountain In the Big Rock Candy Mountain The houses are built of blocks And the little streams of soda pop Come trickling down the rocks The soldiers there are made of lead And they are very brave There's a lake of stew and ice cream too You can paddle all around in a paper canoe In the Big Rock Candy Mountain In the Big Rock Candy Mountain The frogs have wooden legs And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay hard-boiled eggs There's chocolate pie in all the trees And jam in all the lakes Well I'm gonna go where the wind don't blow There's a big free show And there's candy snow In the Big Rock Candy <b>...</b>

Is the world bold, this love old, moving nowhere, and it's gonna cold, the wind stops, the clouds go, we're all alone. Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I know, I can see those - Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I know, I can see those - I can feel those, I can see those - Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, sqare rooms, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, square rooms. They don't listen, they don't care if a man is in despair. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, square rooms... Walks long and long clears the vision of one with one, and you still move me, you undo me like you've always done. But I realize now we've not made you out of words now, Just you and me, just you and me until the end of time. Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, I know, I can see those... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, sqare rooms... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, sqare rooms... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, sqare rooms...

Woodward Maurice Ritter (January 12, 1905--January 2, 1974), better known as Tex Ritter, was an American country music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s, and the father of actor John Ritter. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. With origins dating to the earliest days of Anglo settlement in Texas, the Texas Rangers form the oldest law-enforcement agency in North America with statewide jurisdiction. They often have been compared to four other world-famous agencies: the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Scores of books, from well-researched works of non-fiction to Wild West pulp novels, have been written about the Rangers. They are part of the history of the Old West, and part of its mythology. Over the years, a distinct Ranger tradition has evolved. The Rangers date back to 1823 when Stephen F. Austin recognized the need for a body of men to protect his fledgling colony. On August 5 of that year, Austin wrote that he would "...employ ten men...to act as rangers for the common defense." These men "ranged" the area of Austin's colony, protecting settlers from Indians. When no threat seemed evident, the men returned to their families and land.
