[Cash]
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash
[Cash]
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to have a sombre tone
There's a reason for the things that I have on
[Womack]
I wear the black for the poor and beaten down
Livin' on the hopeless, hungry side of town
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime
But is there because he's a victim of the times
I'm the man...
[Cash]
Well I wear the black for those who never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness, through love and charity
Why do you think He's talkin' straight to you and me
[Womack]
We're doing mighty fine I do suppose
In our streak-o'-lightnin' cars and fancy clothes
But, just so were reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black
