Cheddar Peppers – The Man In Black lyrics

We thought we graced the world with Johnny Cash
He was the Man in Black
He sang us songs like One Piece at a Time
About his mismatched Cadillac

He was raised right here in my home state
In the fields of Arkansas
And when he moved to Memphis back in '54
That's when we learned he really graced us all

With Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant
Sun Records gave The Three a try
Johnny sang Hey Porter, Hey Porter
And you're gonna Cry! Cry! Cry!

The uk gave us The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,
The Who and The Clash
But Arkansas first set that bar
When we gave you Johnny Cash

My daddy was his biggest fan
Johnny called him on the phone
We made trips up through Tennessee
And I got to see his home

Coming down the road in a big Cadillac
We never had a clue
There dressed in black behind the wheel
Sat the legend... A Boy Named Sue

With Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant
Sun Records gave The Three a try
Johnny sang Hey Porter, Hey Porter
And you're gonna Cry! Cry! Cry!

The uk gave us The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,
The Who and The Clash
But Arkansas first set that bar
When we gave you Johnny Cash

With Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant
Sun Records gave The Three a try
Johnny sang Hey Porter, Hey Porter
And you're gonna Cry! Cry! Cry!

The uk have The Beatles, The Rolling Stones,
The Who and The Clash
But here in Arkansas there's no bigger star
We all love you Johnny Cash

Here in Arkansas there's no bigger star
We all love you Johnny Cash
