When I Was Arrested I Was Dressed

I Met Sam Phillips When He Came In [studio] And I Said, I'm John Cash. I'm The One Who's Been Calling. And If You'd Listen To Me, I Believe You'll Be Glad You Did. And He Said, Come On In. That Was A Good Lesson For Me, You Know, To Believe In Myself.

Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line Up - You Know, Up-tempo. And I Put Paper In The Strings Of My Guitar To Get That (vocalizing) Sound, And With The Bass And The Lead Guitar, There It Was. Bare And Stark, That Song Was When It Was Released. And I Heard It On The Radio And I Really Didn't Like It, And I Called Sam Phillips And Asked Him Please Not To Send Out Any More Records Of That Song.

Sam Phillips Asked Me To Go Write A Love Song, Or Maybe A Bitter Weeper. So I Wrote A Song Called, "cry Cry Cry," Went Back In And Recorded That For The Other Side Of The Record.

I Expect My Life To End Pretty Soon. You Know, I'm 71 Years Old. I Have Great Faith, Though. I Have Unshakable Faith.

Happiness Is Being At Peace, Being With Loved Ones, Being Comfortable...but Most Of All, It's Having Those Loved Ones.
