Viewing lyrics for Johnny Cash by Kelley McRae.

johnny cash

i hear johnny cash died of a broken heart
to love like that that the thing just tears you apart
i don't think that i have even come close
to love like that well, i think that you just know

mama smoked cigarettes on the porch each night
said it was the only thing made her feel alright
and daddy went off nobody would say where
and i want a love like johnny cash had for her

there's a lot of people in this big ol' world
there's a lot of boys and there's a lot of girls
and i don't think the lonely really ever goes away
but maybe you can find somebody help you pass the day

and grandma put on her best every sunday morning
went off to church to praise the Lord in all His glory
grandpa died sometime back and far away
grandma listened to johnny cash almost every day

i hear johnny cash died of a broken heart
to love like that that the thing just tears you apart
and i aint expectin' from this beat up world
but oh to have a love like johnny cash had for her
oh to have a love like johnny cash had for her
oh to have a love like johnny cash had for her
