Just Like Johnny Cash
JUST LIKE JOHNNY CASH
Riding down an empty road,
moving way too fast.
Seems like once again, I’m lost.
Nothing worthwhile lasts.
Once again it’s history
that got the best of me.
What does it take to stay in love
in the struggle to be free?
Riding down an empty road,
it’s like a highway built for me.
There’s somewhere else I’d rather be
On a road to nowhere,
any town will do.
This one is familiar --
it’s called losing you.
There’s a road to paradise,
that’s what some may say.
But for me, just like Johnny Cash,
everyone I love goes away.
I was born in solitude,
and I’ll die alone.
I feel just like a visitor,
never found a home.
Riding down this highway,
alone in my own lane.
Gonna drive so far until
I forget my name.
There’s a road to paradise,
that’s what some may say.
But for me, just like Johnny Cash,
everyone I love goes away.
How we lost each other?
We’ll both speak to that.
There’s what you think,
what I think, too,
and then there are the facts.
Look out the window;
see that barren tree.
The leaves that bloomed in early spring
blinded our fate to be.
There’s a road to paradise,
that’s what some may say.
But for me, just like Johnny Cash,
everyone I love goes away.
