Man In Black-- Johnny Cash[00:00:00]
Well you wonder why I always dress in black [00:00:06]
Why you never see bright colors on my back [00:00:11]
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone [00:00:17]
Well there's a reason for the things that I have on [00:00:21]
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down [00:00:27]
Livin' in the hopeless hungry side of town [00:00:32]
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime [00:00:37]
But is there because he's a victim of the times [00:00:42]
I wear the black for those who never read [00:00:47]
Or listened to the words that Jesus said [00:00:49]
About the road to happiness through love and charity [00:00:57]
Why you'd think He's talking straight to you and me [00:01:01]
Well we're doin' mighty fine I do suppose [00:01:06]
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes [00:01:11]
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back [00:01:17]
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black [00:01:22]
I wear it for the sick and lonely old [00:01:27]
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold [00:01:32]
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been [00:01:37]
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men [00:01:42]
And I wear it for the thousands who have died [00:01:47]
Believen' that the Lord was on their side [00:01:51]
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died [00:01:57]
Believen' that we all were on their side [00:02:02]
Well there's things that never will be right I know [00:02:07]
And things need changin' everywhere you go [00:02:12]
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right [00:02:14]
You'll never see me wear a suit of white [00:02:22]
Ah I'd love to wear a rainbow every day [00:02:26]
And tell the world that everything's OK [00:02:31]
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back [00:02:37]
'Till things are brighter I'm the Man In Black[00:02:42]
