Was a fall Friday morin' mid-September
Dad, he would die one month later
Well, mom went to visit in the place he would pass
’Cross from the river and in front of the tracks
He said, "You won't believe who came to my bedside
Johnny Cash on a freight train, sometime in the night
Well, he wanted me to go along for a ride
But, I told him I would stay for my children and my wife"
Mom turned on the TV and to her surprise
Breaking news this morning Johnny Cash has died
Well, he passеd away in Nashville sometime in thе night
Well, the nurses told my mom, "Don't be surprised
Funny things happen before someone dies"
Well you can call it spirits, angels, or lies
But we’ll never know what someone sees with their own eyes
No, we'll never know what someone sees with their own eyes
