Karaoke Track: Man In Black by Johnny Cash (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

Well you wonder why

I always dress in black

And why does my

appearance seem
to have a sombre tone

I wear it for
the prisoner who

has long paid
for his crime

But he's there

'cause he's a victim
of the times

0r listened to the

words that Jesus said

About the road
to happiness

through love
and charity

Well we're doin'

mighty fine
I do suppose

In our streak

of lightnin' cars
and fancy clothes

But just so we're

reminded of the ones
who are held back

Up front there ought

to be a man in black

I wear it for the

sick and lonely old

For the reckless ones

whose bad trip
left them cold

I wear the black

in mournin' for the lives
that could have been

Each week we lose

a hundred fine
young men

And I wear it for

the thousands
who have died

Believin' that the Lord

was on their side

I wear it for another

hundred thousand
who have died

Believin' that we all

were on their side

Well there's things

that never will be
right I know

And things need changin'

everywhere you go

But 'til we start
to make a move

to make a few
things right

I'd love to wear

a rainbow every day

And tell the world

that everything's okay

But I'll try to carry off

a little darkness
on my back

'Till things are brighter

I'm the man in black
