Fred Eaglesmith - Johnny Cash lyrics

You sure did let Johnny Cash down Now that they've put him in the ground You hang his poster on your ceiling His songs give you a real good feeling And you sure do let Johnny Cash down Where were you in 1989? When it looked like Johnny was on the decline His career was fading And his shows weren't selling You were listening to heavy metal And you sure do let Johnny Cash down And you sure do let Johnny Cash down Now that they've put him in the ground The radio station plays him all the time Too bad you hardly played him when he was alive But you sure do like Johnny Cash now Yeah you sure do like Johnny Cash now And you sure did like when he sang the Nine Inch Nails When he looked like he was dying in that video You liked that did ya? He was givin' them the finger Too bad they can't bottle that religion But you sure do like Johnny Cash now But you sure do like Johnny Cash now But you sure do like Johnny Cash now
