Lyrics
Written by jimmy bivens Jesus and Johnny Cash V- Well I was a stoned on a Sunday morning- lookin like I’d lost my way, A young fellow handed me a prayer- and said- brother have you been saved? Well- I know where you are headin- but I think I’ll have to pass- cuz while you’ve Jesus- I’ve got Johnny Cash. V- His look was bewildered, and with nothing more to say, you see thru his ministry- he’s a tryin to pave the way, both men felt betrayed- which led to lives filled with sufferin and pain, The man in black- the son in white- could they be one in the same. V- Jesus had the Father- Johnny’s daddy lived in his brain- you’ll never make it anywhere boy, so he jumped up on that train. Singin songs about prison time- that he never did do- yet he strolled right into Folsom and absolved those bad boys blues. V- (Now given my state of mind- he looked me in the eye and said) Think of chicken little- you know your sky is gonna fall- Johnny was a picker and a player- he ain’t gonna get you to the ball, Didn’t make a wine out of water- but he shore drank his fill- beatin all his demons, poppin – a pill by pill. BR- And he faltered at the altar, more than once hecame crashin down-Couldn’t walk on water- so effortless- to drown. V- ( you know I wasn’t thru)- With no blessin or no miracles- Johnny’s pain was our gain, but lifes temptation’s- too many to abstain, and he grew up w/ the gospel- sittin in that front row pew- Momma sang tenor, Daddy sang Bass and Johnny did too. BR- And his love for his brothers- Willy Waylon and them all – Singing for the sufferin, everytime he made a curtain call- Hello, my name is Johnny Cash. V- Well that’s my testimony- that’s my testament, he sacrificed for others- he to was heaven sent, But his cross too great to bear- You see Summer’s without June, just didn’t work- Near the end he sang a song about- just how much that hurt. Well, there was a different look about that boy and I believe he’d seen the light He said he felt born again- and he’s a ready to walk the line, He said thru the pearly gates – I know that I truly shall pass- cuz I’ve always had Jesus and now I’ve got Johnny Cash, I said I’ve always had Jesus- and now I’ve got Johnny Cash.
