lirik lagu gary kehoe - the man in black lives on
[intro]
well he was born in arkansas in 1932
a son of the depression, hard times was all he knew
but he became a poet, and a country legend too
and left a music legacy for folks like me and you
he made his first recordings in 1955
he told us to walk the line, or cry, cry, cry
he sang about a teenage queen
and gunmen of the west
and the promise of salvation
when a sinner’s laid to rest
[verse 1]
he told the poor dirt farmers who went busted for their pains
and the men who rodе the steamboats, and those who road thе trains
well a few went on to glory, while many went astray
some just went to folsom
well, i guess things happen that way
now 50 years of faithful fans pass on his memory
in country folk and rock and roll, he knew no boundaries
anywhere there’s music of the land, you’ll always hear his songs
[chorus]
yes, johnny cash is gone
but the man in black lives on
[verse 2]
but years of drugs and alcohol, began to take their toll
and his life took on the look
of those tragic tales he told
and instead of on the concert stage
in jail he might be found
yes, johnny learned first~hand
about sunday mornin’ coming down
it finally took a woman’s love to lead him from the gloom
[verse 3]
in ‘68 he fell into, a ring of fire with june
with her support, he rebuilt a superstar career
in ‘69, a boy named sue was entertainer of the year
now 34 years later, the whole world knows his name
it’s the only one recorded in three different halls of fame
he ended his career with one last successful song
yes johnny cash is gone
but the man in black lives on
[chorus]
now 50 years of faithful fans pass on his memory
in country folk and rock and roll, he knew no boundaries
anywhere there’s music of the land, you’ll always hear his songs
[outro]
yes, johnny cash is gone
but the man in black lives on
(we’re all gonna miss ya johnny)
