From: 'A Horse Called Music' (1989)
Written by Beth Nielsen Chapman, this No. 1 hit from 1989 tells Nelson's own outlaw saga pretty well, which is perhaps why it also happens to be one of the singer's breeziest performances on record. Set to a cool Cajun-tinged groove, the tune finds a wistful Nelson resigned to his fate. With a personal life that has included four marriages, tax troubles and "high times" that have led to occasional brushes with the law, there's obviously nothing he can, or would, do about all of it now.
