The sound of his voice echoes through the jails
Singing about love and all the problems he can see
Telling the world is not okay He won't fail
He knows how to talk straight to you and me
King of the country, of the blues, of rock'n roll
It's a certain thing that he is still touching my soul

Cheers to the man in black
We know that he won't come back
I know that we are worlds apart
But Mr. Cash still lives in my heart

There goes Mr. Cash with some pills in his guitar
Running arround the country, but he is not going too far
Waiting for that good'ol woman who will save his life
And that burning love trumpets makes he walk the line
King of the country, of the blues, of rock'n roll
It's a certain thing that he is still touching my soul

Cheers to the man in black
We know that he won't come back
I know that we are worlds apart
But Mr. Cash still lives in my heart
