Long Black Veil - Johnny Cash

Heaven's gone, the battle's won I had to say goodbye Lived and learned from every fable Written by your mind And I wonder how to move on From all I had inside Place my gun upon the table In blood I draw the line I've given all my pride Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony I watch the stars and setting suns As the years are passing by I never knew that hope was fatal Until I looked it in the eye And now I'm not sure I am able To reach the other side Casting out the light Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony Goodbye agony Not alone in forgiving The faithful and the blind Innocence is forsaken I leave 'em all behind And then I see that even angels never die Living a life of misery Always there, just underneath Haunting me, quietly alone It's killing me, killing me Dead and gone, what's done is done You were all I had become I'm letting go of what I once believed So goodbye agony Goodbye agony

I never knew how to live alone Holding my fear in the unknown And if we only speak in tongue, how can we be heard? Are there songs you keep to guard your heart? Let this be the one you use to start your own And every word that came from you has carried me So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save I grew this heart in a motor car I wear a mask to be the star All of the heat and anxiety that still lines the road It is all I ever thought I'd live for Now I know I'm more than all of my scars So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born- So I'm trying my hardest to be what you made Like a court jester, my smile won't fade Giving it all, rising to fall to my grave Answer the call, living in thrall You're the one born to save

And you guys are kings of this school You get away with whatever you want What are you bitching about? Well, all I'm saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life Remind me to kill myself When the wildfire is over and everything is gone Incinerate my tires while we race into the wide open See, I don't really wanna think about it or how it all went wrong Houston, there's a problem, someone sucked out all the sun But I'm, I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else You're jealous of my resilience When the royal crown is gone and everything is ours (everything is ours) Regenerate that kind of power, reserved for the Marvel gods See, I've been coming to the realization that all you do is shine Black lights to my problems, swallow the dirt, you rotten swine But I'm, I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else You're jealous of my resilience And it's odd that I've been runnin' into spider webs at night (and it's odd) And it's odd that I keep runnin' into spider webs Runnin' into spider webs at night (and it's odd) I'm better tonight Don't waste that hand Non-operational for anything else Jealous of my resilience My resilience My resilience

Blink and I'll explode, I'm just the type Perverted loneliness defined I'm not obsessed, far worse, I'm fine And pain is unavoidable at times But if it gets shit off your mind I understand, that's kind of why I'm here, right? Yeah Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Shame, I'm just a tiny parasite But I will eat you up alive All of your tenderness, the flies swarm 'round Do you really crave a life? (That's not beholden to me) I didn't mean to burden you with love in my condition Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Horrified, swallowing your perfume Why won't you save me? You and I are blood and wine Please stop, don't worry I can be your freak I'll scar you with my flawless execution every time Every time Every time Dead right

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
