At first I was afraid, I was petrified,  

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

 And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

Listened to the Cash version earlier today. It's a difficult but emotional listen no matter how many times you hear it.

Indeed, the  video for the song is impossible to watch without welling up.  He was understandably heartbroken at June Carter's deteriorating health due to a heart condition from which she eventually died.  Some say Johnny died of a broken heart 6 months later.

I am the son and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. 

 I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows I’m miserable now

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

I'm afraid that bit bugs me.

"These ideas are nightmares to white parents

whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings"

 

 

"Goddamn, man-child
You ****ed me so good that I almost said, 'I love you'"

 

 

"This is a beautiful day

It is a new day

We are together

We are unified

And all for the cause"

 

 

"That's great it starts with an earthquake"

 

 

"Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river"

 

 

"Southern trees bear a strange fruit"

It is a bit naff, but not enough to spoil the song for me.

The distant echo of faraway voices boarding faraway trains.

 

To take them home to the ones that they love and who love them forever.

Breathe with me

Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I’ll test ya
Psychosomatic addict insane
Breathe the pressure
Come play my game I’ll test ya
Psycho-somatic addict insane

Oh, man - me too. 

 

I mean, who am I to argue with that level of songwriter...but never in all my bartending days have I been asked for a tonic and gin.
