Ive heard that the reason the Brits (Euros) ride on the left side of the road was so that when they would pass some one on the road, they could easily draw their swords. So as to dispatch any errant highwaymen.
Ive never had any real history lesson on this.
Kind of like the salute in the military, from the days when armored clad soldiers would lift their visors from their helms.


I'm pretty sure thats a myth.

Also, other European countries drive on the right so I'm not sure why you have Euros in brackets there.

Wiki informs me that countries that drive on the left have lower collision rates than those who drive on the right!

I have an interesting story about this song, i dont know if its true. A freind of mine told me it when we were jamming at a BBQ.

He said: Johnny cash didnt write the song, but the man who did write the song wanted cash to play it. He wanted cash to play it so bad that he hired a chopper to fly him out to where cash was playing golf. The pilot was questioning the mans sanity because he was drunk, and had a glass of bourbon with him. But the money was good so there they were landing on the green were cash was putting. Kris got out of the chopper and stumbled several times, and handed cash the song. Cash was later reputed to have said: The only reason i took the song was because when the drunk bastard came out of the chopper he didnt spill a single drop of bourbon.

This is a hand me down story, and i dont know if its true, but its great. BTW the man who wrote the song was Kris Kristopherson, and became a member of the highwaymen.

I'm a huge JRC fan, and I like all the other guys as well - but the Highwaymen were a tired package. The first album (which had this song) was really poor. Listen to these guys individually to find classics. Ditto the Travelin' Wilbury's. Even Johnny on the Muppets is better.

Love The Highwaymen.
