The Ballad of Ira Hayes - Johnny Cash

Hear my plea to the fallen Leave me to be with the broken One last time before I go Hold the last burning ember Let us never surrender May we rise unto the call For the glory and the fall For the beat and the broken For the lost and forsaken Let us never surrender May we rise unto the call For the beat and the broken For the lost and forsaken Let us never surrender For the glory and the fall For the beat and the broken For the lost and forsaken Let us never surrender Now we rise unto the call (For the beat and the broken) Chains that we are breaking Fate that we are awaiting We will rise unto the call (Rise unto the call) For the glory and the fall

Cat got my tongue And I don't think I get along with anyone Blood running cold I'm on the outside of the greatest inside joke And I hate all my clothes Feels like my skin doesn't fit right over my bones So I guess, I should go The party's done and I'm no fun, I know, I know I know, I know I broke a glass, I tripped and fell I told secrets I shouldn't tell I stumbled over all my words I made it weird, I made it worse Each time I step outside, it's social suicide It's social suicide, wanna curl up and die It's social suicide Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah I laughed at the wrong time, sat with the wrong guy (Uh-huh) Searching "how to start a conversation?" on a website ("how to flirt") Talked to this hot guy, swore I was his type Guess that he was making out with boys, like, the whole night (Oh) Everything I do is tragic (Oh) Every guy I like is gay (Oh) The morning after I panic (Oh) Oh God, what did I say? (Oh, oh, oh) I broke a glass, I tripped and fell I told secrets I shouldn't tell I stumbled over all my words I made it weird, I made it worse Each time I step outside, it's social suicide It's social suicide, wanna curl up and die It's social suicide Yeah, when I'm alone, I'm fine But don't let me out at night It's social suicide, it's social suicide Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah I broke a glass, tripped and fell Told secrets I shouldn't tell Stumbled over all my words Made it weird and made it worse Each day that I'm alive, it's social suicide It's social suicide, wanna curl up and die It's social suicide It's social suicide, don't let me out at night I'm shocked I'm still alive, it's social suicide Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah Thought your mom was your wife (Ah) Called you the wrong name twice (Ah) Can't think of a third line (Ah) La-la, la-la, la-la (Ah) La-la, la-la, la-la (Ah) La-la, la-la, la-la (Ah) La-la, la-la, la-la, ugh

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
