Ain't No Grave - Johnny Cash

Faded, and I really can't escape it Cause' the feelin' is elated I wonder why I do this to myself Lately, I can't help but feelin' jaded So I end up getting wasted Don't really wanna be with no one else I spend my days Dancin' on my grave But it's okay, there's nothing left to save Cause' my heart is made of stone And I have nowhere left to go So I spend my days Dancin' on my grave (Dancin' on my grave) (Dancin' on my grave) I don't know what you've been told But I've been young, and I've been bold And I think that I'm getting lost again Mind of steel, and heart of stone But I've been diggin' up a hole And I think that I'm getting buried in I spend my days Dancin' on my grave But it's okay, there's nothing left to save Cause' my heart is made of stone And I have nowhere left to go So I spend my days Dancin' on my grave (Dancin' on my grave) (Dancin' on my grave)

You blew in like a Cheyenne wind Blue-Green eyes with a whiskey grin It's almost like you knew I had a heart to steal Yeah we danced till the lights came on Kissed me slow to a George Strait song I had no doubt you were the real deal You got the hat, you got the cattle You put a million miles on that saddle You sure know how to make a cowgirl fall You got the boots, scars on your knuckle But settling down don't win any buckles You ain't no good sticking it out for the long haul Turns out you ain't no cowboy at all They don't treat you like the next town Call it home for a couple sundowns Take your love then head down the interstate They don't make promises they can't keep They don't say three words they don't mean They don't end it with a text from Santa Fe Cowboys ain't that way You got the hat, you got the cattle You put a million miles on that saddle You sure know how to make a cowgirl fall You got the boots, scars on your knuckle But settling down don't win any buckles You ain't no good sticking it out for the long haul Turns out you ain't no cowboy at all Yeah you got the hat, you got the cattle You put a million miles on that saddle You sure know how to make a cowgirl fall You got the boots, scars on your knuckle But settling down don't win any buckles You ain't no good sticking it out for the long haul Turns out you ain't no cowboy at all Turns out you ain't no cowboy at all

There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way We do it every day Preachers on the podium speaking of saints Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change Old ladies laughing from the fire escape Cursing my name I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same A window and a pigeon with a broken wing You can spend your whole life working for something Just to have it taken away People walk around pushing back their debts Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets Talking about nothing, not thinking about death Every little heartbeat, every little breath People walk a tightrope on a razor's edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I don't know why I say the things I say But I say them anyway But love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes Prison walls still standing tall Some things never change at all Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all Working your fingers bare to the bone Breaking your back, make you sell your soul Like a lung, it's filled with coal Suffocating slow The wind blows wild and I may move But politicians lie and I am not fooled You don't need no reason or a three piece suit To argue the truth The air on my skin and the world under my toes Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes Chaos and commotion wherever I go Love I try to follow Love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way We do it every day

If I can't go to heaven Bury me in a neon grave Carve my name in a honkeytonk headstone right there where I lay Let that Lynchburg River Haul my soul away If I can't go to heaven Bury me in a neon grave Where the band don't stop and the girls all dance where the long necks don't get hot in our hands the bar keeps doublin' down on doubles It ain't hard to find a little trouble Where the clock keeps going but it don't keep time The good Lord's willin' and the sun don't rise If I can't go to heaven I say Bury me, bury me, bury me In a neon grave Hand me Lord your angels With whisky on their wings If I can't cross the Jordon To go and see my king Plop me here by the jukebox Where I can hear old? Sing And hand me Lord your angels With whisky on their wings Where the band don't stop and the girls all dance Where the long necks don't get hot in our hands The bar keeps doublin' down on doubles It ain't hard to find a little trouble Where the clock keeps going but it don't keep time The good Lord's willin' and the sun don't rise If I can't go to heaven I say Bury me, bury me, bury me In a neon grave Ohhhh in a neon grave With the lights down low And the smoke is thick Where the open dock Is always lit If I can't go to heaven Bury me Where the band don't stop and the girls all dance Where the long necks don't get hot in our hands The bar keeps doublin' down on doubles It ain't hard to find a little trouble Where the clock keeps going but it don't keep time The good Lord's willin' and the sun don't rise If I can't go to heaven I say Bury me, bury me, bury me In a neon grave Woah in a neon grave Bury me, bury me, bury me In a neon grave Woah in a neon grave

One chance, two chances of three Think I got too much empathy, yeah I hold my grudges like I held you How does me tryin' to fix it Turn into "I'll just forgive it"? One chance, two chances were lost on you (oh) You can only dig the grave so deep Before you start to take me down, with you With you with you, with you, ooh I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted I could never really change you like I thought that I could I was tryna make us something out of nothing, we were nothing at all You can only dig the grave so deep You can only try to save something that's not already gone (It's so sad, what the fuck?) Said you'd be going out with all your boys And I'm crazy if I called you, right? Tables turned, now I'm out And you just called, like, thirty times (thirty times) Always a funny thing Watchin' the tough guy plead Oh, baby You can only dig the grave so deep Before you start to take me down, with you With you, with you, with you, ooh I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted I could never really change you like I thought that I could I was tryna make us something out of nothin', we were nothin' at all You can only dig the grave so deep You can only try to save something that's not already gone (gone, gone) That's not already gone That's not already gone (already gone) Ooh You had me, you had me for a minute The sad thing is you never would admit that you had me You had me for a minute there (ooh) You had me (you), you had me for a minute (had) The sad thing (me) is you never would admit (baby) that you had me (you) You had me for a minute there (had) But I could never make you want me like I wanted to be wanted I could never really change you like I thought that I could I was tryna make us something out of nothing, we were nothing at all You can only dig the grave so deep You can only try to save something that's not already gone (gone, gone) That's not already gone (gone, gone)

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?
