Why Is A Fire Engine Red Johnny Cash

Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods
And if you don't believe it
Just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson
'cause they saw him, too
I was drivin' my jeep across the field
And when I came in to the edge of the woods
I saw Kevin Jones
Comin' down out of a tread
I stopped my jeep
And Kevin jumped up on the running board
And there it's when he said
There's a bear in the woods
And I looked right at Kevin
And I said, now Kevin, tell me the truth
And he looked at me right in the eye
He said, I'm not kiddin' you, Uncle John
He said, there's a bear in the woods
And if you don't believe it
Just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson
'cause they saw him, too
I kept on lookin' right at Kevin and I said
Now tell me truth, Kevin
He said, it is, it's a bear, it's a black bear
He said, it's not a big bear, but it's a bear
It's a black bear
I've seen him goin' down the trail there
I kept on lookin' at Kevin and I got to thinkin'
Now Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods
Kevin was seven years old and I'm a lot older than he is
And I've done a lot of things that he hadn't done
And one of those things that I've done that he hadn't, is to lie
So I got to thinkin', if Kevin Jones says
There's a bear in the woods, who am I to doubt it
Well, I kind o' grinned at Kevin
And he jumped down off of the running board
And I started my jeep back up
And headed down the road in the woods
As I went away
I hollered back at Kevin and I said
Hey Kevin, watch out for that bear in the woods!
