JOHNNY CASHI just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
JOHNNY CASHAll your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate. I choose love.
JOHNNY CASHGospel music was the thing that inspired me as a child growing up on a cotton farm, where work was drudgery and it was so hard that when I was in the field I sang all the time.

JOHNNY CASHThe beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars.
JOHNNY CASHI found out that there weren’t too many limitations, if I did it my way.
JOHNNY CASHHow well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
JOHNNY CASHThere’s a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there’s a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.
