The old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
They roll by his marker and don't even notice
Like living and dying was all he ever did

The Highwaymen, "The Last Cowboy Song"
The Highwaymen was an "outlaw country" group comprised of four country music legends: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson. Most of their work consisted of covers of already popular songs. Released in 1985, "The Last Cowboy Song" was a cover of a 1980 work by William Edwin "Ed" Bruce, Jr., better known as Ed Bruce.

A perfect example of a spoken interlude! It even has background vocals!
I'd be curious to know where this marker is?
