The Good Earth - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

The good earth swallows up the seed[00:00:07]

Swallows life as well[00:00:10]

From long before the day you're born[00:00:13]

Till heaven comes or hell[00:00:16]

It binds your hands with chains of clay[00:00:23]

That are so hard to break[00:00:27]

But when I left good earth behind I made a big mistake[00:00:29]

I've traveled far and traveled wide[00:00:39]

I've seen a lot of things[00:00:43]

But looking back on all the years[00:00:46]

I don't know what they mean[00:00:49]

Like steel I'm probably stronger[00:00:52]

From going through the fire[00:00:55]

I kept on climbing lower[00:00:59]

Digging deeper to get higher[00:01:02]

I turned around one evening[00:01:09]

When the sun was going down[00:01:11]

I heard the Bible told a preacher[00:01:15]

Who just pulled in to town[00:01:18]

At last I'm back on good earth[00:01:25]

Where I should have always been[00:01:28]

Lord forgive me if I ever try to leave good earth again[00:01:32]

Well the good earth was my mama and my daddy too[00:01:41]

Now I'm working my hands in soil trying to pay my due[00:01:48]

And when I'll breathe my last breath[00:01:54]

Which may not be too long[00:01:57]

Just shovel a little good earth over my head[00:02:00]

Till everybody open up the hymn book and[00:02:04]

Sing a happy song[00:02:07]

Shall we gather at the river in the sweet by and by[00:02:13]

Just as I am Jesus loves me one of[00:02:20]

These days I'll fly[00:02:24]

I'm standing on the promises Lord build the place for me[00:02:29]

In the good earth over Jordan by the Sea of Galilee mhm[00:02:36]
