Nickajack Cave (Johnny Cash's Redemption)

歌詞

Little while pills and whiskey Honky tonks and smoke One night stands with his country band Had him strung out on the ropes Well he cried out to Jesus He said Jesus I tink I'm too lost to save He already had one foot insidet he grave As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave Everything was darkenss Wasn't no light at all Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt And the spiders on the walls Well he laid down beneath a ledge And curled up there to meet his judgment day The shivering came upon him wave by wave Well he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave Then high above him shone a light He never would forget Then he heard a voice say Johnny Cash I aint through with you yet Get up I aint through with you yet I aint through with you yet Johnny Cash Get up Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge And felt a gentle breeze Tears and dirt smeared on his face As peaceful as could be Well he knelt down upon the ground Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed He said Lord I'll be your servant from this day That's how he became The Man in Black in Nickajack cave That's how he became The Man in Black in Nickajack cave Get up Johnny Cash I ain't through with you yet Get up
