INTRO MI
VERSE:
MI
Little white pills and whiskey
MI
Honky tonks and smoke
MI
One night stands with his country band
MI
Had him strung out on the ropes
MI LA
Well he cried out to Jesus
LA MI
He said Jesus I think I'm too lost to save
MI RE LA MI
He already had on foot inside his grave
MI RE LA MI
As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave
VERSE:
Everything was darkness
Wasn't no light at all
Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt
And he spiders on the walls
Well he laid down beneath a ledge
And curled up there to meet his judgement day
The shivering came upon him wave by wave
Well he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave
REFRAIN:
LA
Then high above him shone a light
LA
He never would forget
LA RE
Then he heard a voice say Johnny Cash
RE
I ain't thru with you yet
RE MI
Get up I ain't thru with you yet
MI
I ain't thru with you yet Johnny Cash
MI
Get up
VERSE:
Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge
And felt a gentle breeze
Tears and dirt smeared on his face
As peaceful as could be
Well he knelt down upon the ground
Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed
He said Lord I'll be your servant from this day
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave
MI
Get up Johnny Cash I ain't thru with you yet
MI
Get up
