Hey Johnny

Hey Johnny, if you were here
would you sing in the world's ear
and remind them
of how things were back when?

Hey Johnny, would you do me a favor?
you don't have to be this generation's savior
but maybe if you'd just speak up about how you feel
we wouldn't be in this mess of a deal.

Hey Johnny, things were better when you were around
but now, you're six feet underground
but I guess things were just as rough then too
when livin' was all you knew how to do.

Hey Johnny, would you leave with just one last song?
I know you did, but I can't move along
from the way you sang your songs with complete truth
it may be a little strange coming from me, today's youth.

But Johnny Cash, you meant something to so many
and it's a shame that days aren't forever plenty
because I think a man in black would like to see
just how this world's turn out to be

without Ol' Johnny.
