NICKAJACK CAVE (Johnny Cash's Redemption)
Gary Allan
INTRO:
VERSE:
Little white pills and whiskey
Honky tonks and smoke
One night stands with his country band
Had him strung out on the ropes
Well he cried out to Jesus
He said Jesus I think I'm too lost to save
He already had on foot inside his grave
As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave
VERSE:
Everything was darkness
Wasn't no light at all
Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt
And he spiders on the walls
Well he laid down beneath a ledge
And curled up there to meet his judgement day
The shivering came upon him wave by wave
Well he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave
REFRAIN:
Then high above him shone a light
He never would forget
Then he heard a voice say Johnny Cash
I ain't thru with you yet
Get up I ain't thru with you yet
I ain't thru with you yet Johnny Cash
Get up
VERSE:
Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge
And felt a gentle breeze
Tears and dirt smeared on his face
As peaceful as could be
Well he knelt down upon the ground
Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed
He said Lord I'll be your servant from this day
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave
Get up Johnny Cash I ain't thru with you yet
Get up
