The Ghost of Johnny Cash

[00:03.51] I woke up in a cold sweat, from a dream at 3am,
[00:09.96] I was driftin on a sea of shadows the rain was whippin in the wind
[00:18.08] I saw a man dressed all in black, reach out and take the helm,
[00:25.29] And he charted us a course, out into the spirit realm.
[00:39.78] I can taste the salt, feel the blisters on my hand
[00:46.00] As I'm pulling at the oars, rowing on to glory land,
[00:53.23] And sittin' in the stern, singin' hymns and talkin' trash
[01:01.31] Is my broken guardian angel, the ghost of Johnny Cash.
[01:11.21] Well, Johnny's quoting from the Bible, while I'm trying to steer this leaky craft,
[01:21.28] His familiar voice reminds me that I'm man who's cut in half,
[01:28.40] His tarnished halo slips and shines, and the raging bellows crash,
[01:35.65] And I'm riding out the deluge with the ghost of Johnny Cash.
[01:47.45] Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
[01:54.65] Cause' when you're down here on your knees, most angels look too tall,
[02:02.75] So I'll just live this life out, dust to dust and ash to ash,
[02:15.48] With my guide from the other side... the ghost of Johnny Cash,
[02:37.93] You gotta stand for something, cause' when you're gone you're gone
[02:44.32] The devil lost a lot of souls when Johnny put that black suit on,
[02:51.53] He's still flippin' off the Pharisees, laughing that old scratch
[02:58.78] While he haunts the halls of heaven... the ghost of Johnny Cash
[03:08.63] Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
[03:15.80] Cause when your down here on your knees, most angels look to tall,
[03:24.02] So I'll just live this life out, dust to dust and ash to ash
[03:33.03] With my guide from the other side... the ghost of Johnny Cash,
[03:43.88] Yeah, I'll just live this life out, dust to dust and ash to ash
[03:54.77] Until I'm raisin' hell in heaven... with the ghost of Johnny Cash
