Johnny Cash

lyrics

Johnny Cash

He was the man in black and he changed the way the song of the country was sang and played
and everywhere I go now on my birthday there's another wet eye or a tear on the way
it don't feel right to see everyone torn
but Johnny Cash died on the day that I was born.

I go to the bar to have a little fun
and it's great to hear Folsom being so well sung
my birthday song is "I Still Miss Someone"
because when I try to be happy
I make everybody run.
My welcome there has been well worn
'cause Johnny Cash died on the day that I was born.

Nobody wants to party
on the day that JC died
Nobody from Mel to Marty
cares to see me satisfied.

I try to blow my candle and say my thing
and there ain't no cake and I broke my strings
playing Cash songs for the good it could bring
to the rockabilly heroes and the bachelors of swing
I'm waiting for the day to pass when they mourn
but Johnny Cash died on the day I was born.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏 ... more
