may erlewine - j.r. cash lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
if you really wanna make some sense
talk about him like the king he is
he sang a song that everyone knows

studio in 1956
that was when the record hit
the man had music in his soul

[chorus]
and on that very day, a legend was made
they built him out of flesh and bone
and on the day he died, everyone cried
for the man in black with a heart of gold

[verse 2]
can hear his music ‘cross the countryside
on louisiana hayride
johnny cash and the tenessee [?]
drove a plymouth ‘cross the nation
the grand ole opry’s walls were shaking
stomped so hard they thought the floor would break right through

[chorus]
and on that very day, a legend was made
they built him out of flesh and bone
and on the day he died, everyone cried
for the man in black with a heart of gold

[instrumental]

[verse 3]
people say he sang the devil’s tune
but he could sing the gospel, too
sweet enough to make a grown man cry

then he busted through the prison gates
tracked a record with the inmates
manmade country music walked the line

[chorus]
and on that very day, a legend was made
they built him out of flesh and bone
and on the day he died, everyone cried
for the man in black with a heart of gold
[verse 4]
left his home in arkansas
a farm boy lookin’ for a job
operatin’ air force radios

bought a cheap six string guitar
discharged in [?]
hey, porter, give my love to rose
