THAT OLD OUTLAW...TIME - Bob Nolan one of the Sons of the Pioneers
"Now as I go along, he steals from me.
My way of life. My woman's love. My peace of mind.
If I could see him I'd hit him. If I could reach him I'd kill him.
That old outlaw...Time."
In 1979, Bob Nolan, one of the original "Sons of the Pioneers," emerged from long retirement to cut "The Sound of a Pioneer." The most gripping song was "That Old Outlaw Time."
A year later, June 16, 1980, he was dead.
Johnny Cash would later be part of a morbid video for his cover of "Hurt," and in a flurry of activity before his death, cover a variety of grim songs and warning ballads, including "The Man Comes Around."
"This shadow I can't seem to shake is not flesh and blood. This is a stranger each man faces in his own mind; filling him with fear and doubt. And behind it all, is that old outlaw: Time."
Karloff couldn't have narrated it better.
"No way to win...no way to win...against that old outlaw...TIME."
