Johnny Cash Has Always Been Larger Than

I'd Lost My Family To My Years Of Failing As A Songwriter. All I Had Were Bills, Child Support, And Grief. And I Was About To Get Fired. It Looked Like I'd Trashed My Act. But There Was Something Liberating About It. By Not Having To Live Up To People's Expectations, I Was Somehow Free.

Well I Work Up Sunday Morning, With No Way To Hold My Head That Didn't Hurt, And The Beer I Had For Breakfast Wasn't Bad, So I Had One More For Dessert. Then I Fumbled Through My Closet For My Clothes, And Found My Cleanest Dirty Shirt. An' I Shaved My Face And Combed My Hair, An' Stumbled Down The Stairs To Meet The Day.

I'd Trade All My Tomorrows For One Single Yesterday.

I Grew Up In A Time When People Believed In Duty, Honor And Country. My Grandfathers Were Both Officers. My Father Was A General In The Air Force. My Brother And I Were Both In The Army. I've Always Felt A Kinship With Soldiers; I Think It's Possible To Support The Warrior And Be Against The War.

You Don't Paddle Against The Current, You Paddle With It. And If You Get Good At It, You Throw Away The Oars.
