Johnny Cash Is Dead And I Still Tell Too Many Lies

We used to sit out by the bar

And listen to "Cry Cry Cry"

I would tell her that I love her

Then I would give it my best try 

But that was a long time ago

Johnny Cash is dead

And I still tell too many lies

Johnny Cash is dead and I still tell too many lies

I wake up in the morning

That old sun screams at me

I wake up in the morning 

The sunlight screaming at me

Smelling like cigarette perfume

And a bath of last night's whiskey 

That woman I sing about is gone

She disappeared right before my eyes

That woman I sing about is a long time gone

She disappeared right before my eyes

God knows I don't think about her anymore

Because Ol' Waylon is dead and I still tell too many lies

Reckon I was born

In a time not my own

Reckon I was born

In a time not my own

Listen to the radio

And WZZK won't play 

One goddamned country song

Maybe I was born

100 years too late

A damn sad joke 

By a simple twist of fate

Running out of reasons

Running out of excuses and alibis

But Old Hank is dead

And I still tell too many lies
