The Night Johnny Cash Quit Doing Pills

from One Can Wreck It All by Bad Temper Joe

/

lyrics

Tell me, do you remember those nights
We sat by a campfire light
We passed a guitar, came from near and from far
We all wanted to be a rock 'n' roll star
But it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills

Come here, sit down and a have listen
Listen to the music that's a-playin'
Sing a simple song, sing it all night long
Good times, bad times, ten years gone
But it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills

Love me do, I wanna hold your hand
Kozmic blues on the backseat of a Mercedes-Benz
It's a jumping jack flash, look at that stray cat
Just sittin' there in her brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
But it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills

It's a red house between castles made of sand
Run through the jungle or join a travelin' band
All music will fade, I can't explain
Still smokestack lightning beats a ball and chain
But it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills

Well, it's three o'clock and I'm highway bound
But don't worry, baby, I get around
I've just seen a face, we gotta get out of this place
I'm talkin' 'bout my generation, all confused and dazed
It all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills, oh, that’s right
Well, it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills
Well, it all lost its thrill the night Johnny Cash quit doing pills
