The name came from the Jimmy Webb song that the 4 did together. Highwayman was about a dream involving reincarnation. In Webb's dream, he was a highwayman, a sailor, a construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and a starship captain. Each of the 4 stars took on one of the roles in their version of the song.
