The third verse is a tribute to those 100+ who died during the construction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s. I am speculating that Mr. Webb viewed the memorial at the dam when US Highway 93 crossed over the top of it. In the wake of security concerns after 9/11/2001, a bypass of the dam was constructed and completed in 2010. Since then, through traffic is no longer allowed through the dam, but an exit now allows visitors to approach it from the Nevada side.

Excellent performance from the Master...Regardless of whom, no one can outplay the Master of the song, Not Glen, not Kris, Willie, Waylon, or Johnny, and this certainly includes me. Great song Jimmy, one of the best ever written...Hats off to you...Guthrie Thomas

Tony you are a jerk - this version is terrific- there's only one Jimmy Webb. The emotion and passion in this song is amazing.

Geez. So many terrific song writers that are just under the radar: Jimmy Webb, Towns Van Zandt, John Hiatt, J.J. Cale. Nick Drake........

I finally found this as the original. I think it's boring/crap without the "Highwaymen" performing it. I'm glad Webb wrote this so they could fix it.

What an incredible song, performed to perfection by Jimmy- or by Willie, Waylon, Johnny and Kris. I love 'em both.
