The Bug That Tried to Crawl Around the World - Johnny Cash[00:00:01]

Now you've heard of folks[00:00:04]

With a lot of ambition[00:00:07]

But I believe just about the[00:00:09]

Biggest case of ambition I ever saw[00:00:11]

Was in a bug that I saw[00:00:13]

Crawlin' along the beach one day[00:00:16]

He was a mighty ambitious bug[00:00:18]

On the beach one early mornin'[00:00:22]

As a day was newly dawnin'[00:00:24]

And the sun again was warmin'[00:00:26]

All the chill thru'out the land[00:00:29]

I saw me a bug a walkin' and at[00:00:32]

First I thought he was quakin'[00:00:34]

Then I found out he was talkin'[00:00:36]

While he crawled across the sand[00:00:38]

He was crawlin' mighty straight[00:00:41]

At a slow but a steady gait[00:00:43]

And when I asked him to wait he[00:00:46]

Said oh come on crawl with me[00:00:48]

But I said where you goin' and he[00:00:50]

Said you'll be knowin'[00:00:54]

For I'm gonna make a showin'[00:00:56]

And you'll someday see[00:00:58]

Well I stood there by the ocean[00:01:00]

I suddenly had the notion[00:01:03]

That I start this big promotion[00:01:05]

So this challenge I enfirled said the bug[00:01:07]

So I gave my wife a hug and[00:01:11]

I left my confy rug[00:01:13]

So I could be the only bug[00:01:15]

That ever crawled around the world[00:01:17]

Well he seemed mighty small[00:01:21]

And it was a long way to crawl[00:01:22]

And I'm sure he couldn't swim[00:01:24]

At all so I try to discourage my friend[00:01:26]

I said you know the world is[00:01:29]

Round and there's mighty lotta ground[00:01:31]

And there some water to be[00:01:33]

Found before you reach your journey's end[00:01:35]

And he said now don't you fret[00:01:39]

There's problems to be met[00:01:41]

But I'll make it you can bet and[00:01:42]

This deed will bring glory to my name[00:01:45]

You know they said man would[00:01:47]

Never fly now he's soarin' in the sky[00:01:49]

Cause he had the will to try so let me win my fame[00:01:51]

So he crawled on out of sight[00:01:55]

As he sought that splendoured height[00:01:58]

Neither lookin' left nor right but[00:02:01]

Slowly marchin' toward his goal[00:02:03]

And my knowin' he had started[00:02:05]

On his journey as we parted[00:02:07]

Kept me from feelin' too down hearted[00:02:09]

For he was a mighty ambitious soul[00:02:12]

Well I've looked everywhere I've been[00:02:16]

And seen a lotta bugs since then[00:02:18]

But not one quite like my little friend[00:02:21]

When I think of him I'm filled with pride[00:02:24]

Did he make it I don't know he was crawlin'[00:02:28]

Mighty slow and he had a long way to go[00:02:30]

And all I can tell you folks is that he tried[00:02:34]

He sure was an ambitious bug[00:02:37]
