Tom Colding - Johnny Cash Is Gone

When I was a kid I broke into a car. I stole an old 8-track player
And all the tapes I could find. I ran from two Rent-a-cops
For eight or nine minutes tops, got away, came home
And hooked shit up and pushed play
And Lo and behold, Ah Ah, Mr. Cash was playing
This sad little song on my stolen 8-track player
But the label on the tape had been torn
So I don`t know what it was the man was a playing
So now that Johnny Cash is done. The man in black is dead
But he will never be gone. He is one the blue train bound
For restless and pain, with a transfer through Kingsland
And back to heaven again
I heard the deep honest voice of a man and his pain
He told the story of sadness where No one`s to blame
There is nothing left here to live for
In the world that we are rolling through
Said Johnny Cash back in 62" on the train, yeah
And wouldn`t you know, Ah Ah Mr. Cash was singing
this sad little song, on my stolen 8-track player
I don`t know what Johnny started that day
But it hasn`t ended yet, and it probably never will
So now that Johnny Cash is done. The man in black is dead
But he will never be gone. He is on the blue train bound
For restless and pain, with a transfer through Kingsland
And back to heaven again
So now that Johnny Cash is done. There is no one left to carry on
It`s not the same these days, with the tunes that the kids play
It`s not the same imagination, that Mr. Cash had in his day yeah, yeah
Oh it`s not the same, they had in his day
Cash had in his day, it`s not the same
Mr. Cash had in his day
