it was written by two people (can't remember their names) and johnny cash recorded it first. i listened to the cash version and personally i like the dave version better. but that's probably because i heard the dave version first. if you play and wanna learn to play it, ill get you the tab from this site, it's easy. if you just like the song, then that's probably one of the best versions. dave doesn't change it up much when he plays it live. hope that helps a little

Willie Nelson also recorded it. He may have also written it. (Not sure because I think it was written a long time ago)

it was written by danny dill. the other person that wrote it is questionable. one site says Marijohn Wilkin and another site says someone else. but either way, there ya go.

It was written by both of them; Dill wrote the lyrics and Wilkin wrote the original music.

It's a crazy awesome song. Pretty depressing, but a great song.
