The Man in Black

No voice like his
In all the land
He was given incredible gifts
From the Almighty's Hand

He made a burning ring of fire real
His gospel song it rang so true
When he belted out a love song
It cut right into you

He wore black
Like you, in a sinner's shoes he'd stood
Yet, somehow you knew
The man's heart was good

Prison cells, bars or heartbreak
The sound of a far off train
With his love for God and America
Johnny Cash reigned..

Thomas C. Hoefling aka EV

R.I.P. Johnny...

Good on you, EV. Thanks for the tribute.

I saw the 'Closer' video a couple of weeks ago. I was crying then and I'm crying now. My son thinks I'm nuts, but I just really liked Cash. I knew he wouldn't last long after June died.

Very sad. God bless you, Mr. Cash.
