The Flint Arrowhead - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

While traveling this land from[00:00:05]

Border to border and from sea to sea[00:00:07]

There have a few occasions to leave the[00:00:10]

Beaten path and to find the place[00:00:12]

And quiet that's good for thought[00:00:14]

And just walking through a trackless forest[00:00:17]

Or exploring ruins of the earliest settlers[00:00:19]

Or walking along a creek bed[00:00:22]

Hoping to find a relic such as a Tomahawk an axe[00:00:25]

Or even an arrowhead left by a race of long[00:00:29]

Since vanished Indians[00:00:32]

There's a great thrill and[00:00:35]

It's a wonderful feeling to find a flint arrowhead[00:00:36]

Over fields of new turned sod[00:01:01]

And in communion with my God[00:01:04]

I walked alone in a furrow bed [00:01:07]

I found an arrowhead chiseled from stone[00:01:15]

I don't know how long ago some redman[00:01:21]

Drew his bow on its last fight[00:01:24]

Or did he drop it here [00:01:29]

Afraid white men were near to attack at night[00:01:32]

I do know this one thing beyond[00:01:38]

All questioning it was made to kill[00:01:40]

And proof of a master trade is in this arrowhead[00:01:46]

He made fashioned with skill[00:01:50]

That I inherited this ground is denied by this stone[00:01:55]

I've found but when and by who[00:01:59]

Come join me in my tracks then[00:02:06]

Let's stop and look back[00:02:08]

To the vale and through[00:02:11]

In love and peace we'll see the shadows[00:02:15]

And the trees and voices too[00:02:19]

But quietly slowly tread this home of the forgotten dead[00:02:24]

Whose bones are dust[00:02:29]

I'm proud that their craftsman's skill survives[00:02:33]

The ages still left in my trust[00:02:36]
