"American Remains" is a song written by Rivers Rutherford and originally recorded by the Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson)[1] for their 1990 album Highwaymen 2. The song follows the stories of 4 historically fictional men (a shotgun rider for the fictional "San Jacinto Line", a card shark, a Midwest farmer, and a Cherokee American Indian) in a similar vein to their cover of "Highwayman".[2] Unlike in Highwayman, however, none of the characters are implied dead; their legacies are instead emphasized.
The song was chosen as the fifth track of the album[3] and as a flip side to the lead single from it ("Silver Stallion" / "American Remains", Columbia 38-73233).[4] In October of the same year, it was again released as a single, this time coupled with "Texas".[5]
