About This Song

About "The King Is Gone (So Are You) (Live at Farm Aid V, Texas Stadium, Irving, TX - March 1992)" by The Highwaymen

Same song, new stadium: the Farm Aid crowd gets a looser, rowdier take on this wry lament. The king is gone, but the Highwaymen’s deadpan delivery keeps the sorrow at arm’s length—a winking shrug at mortality’s absurdity.
