Johnny Did It Johnny's Way
When I was a kid, my daddy introduced me to the man in black
He sang about prison, trains and a custom cadillac
Though I was young, I wanted to hear about the ring of fire
But, I was scared to death when mama said the water was risin' high
When I got older I found myself tryin' to catch the devil's hurt
I didn't understand till I found my cleanest dirty shirt
I can't forget the day that Billy Joe took his guns to town
And, how I could almost feel the pain when he hit the ground
I've been to Gatlinburg and I've been to Jackson, Tennessee
I've been in a cell in Folsom longing to be free
You can always recognize him by the way he'd sing his songs and play
Well, I don't care what you say, Johnny did it Johnny's way
I made parts for GM in Detroit, 1949
And, I sat in the starship as we flew across the universe divide
I've walked in a saloon on a street of mud and drank myself a brew
I still feel kinda bad for that boy whose daddy named him Sue
I've been to Gatlinburg and I've been to Jackson, Tennessee
I've been in a cell in Folsom longing to be free
You can always recognize him by the way he'd sing his songs and play
Well, I don't care what you say, Johnny did it Johnny's way
I've been to Gatlinburg and I've been to Jackson, Tennessee
I've been in a cell in Folsom longing to be free
Without the man in black, country music wouldn't be what it is today
Well, I don't care what you say, Johnny did it Johnny's way
Yeah, I don't care what you say, Johnny did it Johnny's way
