"Jesus, My Dad and Johnny Cash" lyrics
"Jesus, My Dad and Johnny Cash"
Well, long as that cemetery's still got holes
That flower shop 'cross the road's gonna stay in business
Y'all, this Christmas was depressing
Without dad there to say the blessing
Don't mean to get you down, y'all
Crying in your crown, y'all
But we ain't nothin' but tourists in this town, y'all
Ain't no secret that we can't stick around, y'all
When my time runs out, y'all
Tell my baby she'll be okay
Throw my ashes in Mobile Bay
Read a little word by the water
Give my guns and guitars to my sons and daughters
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me 'cause
I'll be singing with Jesus, my dad, and Johnny Cash
Well, you can bet your ass I'ma raise a glass
With the man in black
But first, I'ma ask for some water in mine
Watch Jesus turn it into wine
I've been doing the math, y'all
Life is like a fast ball
Hallelujah, he paid our tabs, y'all
There's an afterparty waiting after last call
I won't be looking back, y'all
Tell my baby she'll be okay
Throw my ashes in Mobile Bay
Read a little word by the water
Give my guns and guitars to my sons and daughters
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me 'cause
I'll be singing with Jesus, my dad, and Johnny Cash
Yeah, I'ma thank the son for saving me
Hug his dad and my dad, too
Say "Johnny, did you really know a boy named Sue?"
Tell the truth
Tell my baby she'll be okay
Throw my ashes in Mobile Bay
Read a little word by the water
Give my guns and guitars to my sons and daughters
Sing a good old church song or two
Y'all can cry for y'all all you want to
But don't cry for me 'cause
I'll be singing with Jesus, my dad, and Johnny Cash

Russell Dickerson - "Love You Like I Used To" Girl, I've always loved you, but something's changed
Blame it on time, the road or the ride, but it ain't the same
It's a different kind of feeling, not the one I knew
From the sweet on your lips to...

She turn up for Elvis Presley, told the DJ, "Throw it back"

HARDY - "GIVE HEAVEN SOME HELL" Can't believe that you got me in a suit and tie
I had to take a pull so I wouldn't cry
You got a line out the church door sayin' goodbye
Yeah, I believe 'em when they say you're in a better place
You...
