Seemed to know just what to do Invented the sound That hooked you and me Added one to make The tennessee three The man in black was long and lean Hit the billboard charts With a teenage queen Had a television show The best we'd seen That chick-a-boom rock Really made a splash Missing ol' johnny cash
Well johnny cash Was a friend of mine
Knew him well For a mighty long time Shared the stage for many a show Broke my heart to see him go Cash had the fire of A thousand men
Loving life was his greatest sin
Treated his fans Like the next of kin Rapping a bit talking trash Missing ol' johnny cash
Well now johnny cash Wore black attire
And he fell into that ring of fire
He came up swinging Like a boy named sue And he married june carter And he fairs too He wrote his songs from deep within
And he hit the stage With a crooked grin He and I were both highwaymen And that record became a smash
Well I'm missing ol' johnny cash
Johnny cash never walked no line Johnny cash never did no time but When he sang A folsom prison blues You knew good And well he'd paid his dues True he always dressed in black But he loved folks And they loved him back Carried his pills In a brown paper sack Well I don't care If they found his stash I'm missin' old johnny cash
Now is it really true That him and roy nichols
Rose maddox Some people roasted hot dogs In the back of a limousine With ice cream sticks
I don't know I said they set the curtains on fire
In a english hotel room
Just to warm their hands
Well willie Do you know anything about cash
Well yeah I know a lot of things about cash I'm not sure I should talk about it But I checked with john Asked him if it's ok He said he didn't give a **** One time he took a casket up To his hotel room and got into It and called room service I thought that was pretty funny
Now cash had the fire Of a thousand men
Loving life was his greatest sin Treated his fans like the next of kin Rapping a bit talking trash
