Wreck of the Old 97 - Johnny Cash

When we are born, we are swaddled and snuggled Whispered to, fussed over, tickled and cuddled When we grow up, things get muddled And here it is Christmastime Will you stop by for a piece of delicious Peach pie while I tell you my yuletide wishes? You can help me do the dishes 'Cause here it is Christmastime We all want someone who will love us and hold us To curl up alongside when nights are the coldest We all want someone who will love us and kiss us All I want is you for Christmas Let us examine the holiday spirit Let the small kids sing, so we can all hear it Light up a fire and pull the chair near it 'Cause here it is Christmastime We all want someone who will love us and hold us To curl up alongside when nights are the coldest We all want someone who will hug us and kiss us All I want is you for Christmas When we are born, we are swaddled and snuggled Whispered to, fussed over, tickled and cuddled And when we grow up, things get muddled And here it is Christmastime We all want someone who will love us and hold us To curl up alongside when nights are the coldest We all want someone who will hug us and kiss us All I want is you for Christmas All I want is you for Christmas All I want is you for Christmas

Would your love in all its finery Tear at the darkness all around me Until I can breathe again Until I believe again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all Would your eyes like midnight fireflies Light up the trenches where my heart lies Until I can see again Find my way back again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all To fall so deep into you Lose myself completely In your sweet embrace All my pain's erased From your mouth, it's all that I wish The mercy of your lips, just one kiss Until I can breathe again Until I can sing again 'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks A wildfire born of frustration Born of the one love that gets me so high I've no fear at all To fall so deep into you Lose myself completely In your sweet embrace All my pain's erased

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
