Story Behind The Song

I was watching a tribute concert for Johnny Cash on C.M.T. and it really inspired me to write this song.

Song Description

This is a song about the late, great Johnny Cash.

Lyrics

( THERE'LL ALWAYS BE REBELS
AND OUTLAWS ALL THE SAME
BUT THERE'S ONE WHO CAN'T BE REPLACED
YOU PROBABLY KNOW HIS NAME
THE LEGEND LIVES FOREVER
BUT, WE WISH WE HAD HIM BACK
CAUSE' THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER
MAN IN BLACK )

HE'S PLAYED AT SOLD OUT SHOWS
HE'S PLAYED AT PRISONS TOO
HE'S POURED OUT HIS HEART AND SOUL
FOR ME AND YOU

SINGIN' SONGS LIKE "JACKSON"
AND "I WALK THE LINE"
"SUNDAY MORNIN' COMING DOWN"
AND "ONE PIECE AT A TIME"


HE'S LOVED BY THE MASSES
RESPECTED BY HIS PEERS
HIS SONGS CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH
OR BRING YOU DOWN TO TEARS

WITH SONGS LIKE "BIG RIVER"
AND "A BOY NAMED SUE"
"UNDERSTAND YOUR MAN"
AND "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES"

(CHOURUS)

MAY JOHNNY REST IN PEACE
HIS BODY MAY BE GONE
BUT ONE THINGS FOR SURE
THE LEGEND LIVES ON

WITH' SONGS LIKE "HEY PORTER"
AND "ROCK ISLAND LINE"
"GIVE MY LOVE TO ROSE"
MAKES ME "CRY,CRY,CRY"
"CRY,CRY,CRY"

( CHOURUS)
