Johnny Cash Lyrics
(Watch ya got)
Quit my job flipped off the boss took my name of the payroll.
(screw you man)
Picked up my cell rang my baby's bell said I'm three miles from home.
I said sugar why don't you put on that sundress I like so much,
Wait out by the road I'm comin' to pick you up.
(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.
It's four hundred and sixty seven miles to the outskirts of Las Vegas.
What do you say we go get married by a preacher man that looks like Elvis.
(yeah momma)
Sugar don't you worry bout tellin' your momma goodbye,
We'll send her a souvenier postcard from the wild side.
(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.
(whoa)
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.
(suey!)
(woah)
(woah)
(woah)
Hear that train a comin', rollin' round the bend.
(whoa)
the man in black is gonna rock your ass again.
(woah)
(woah)
(woah)
(screw you man)
Picked up my cell rang my baby's bell said I'm three miles from home.
I said sugar why don't you put on that sundress I like so much,
Wait out by the road I'm comin' to pick you up.
Throw your suitcase in the back,
(whoa)
Done gassed up the pontiac,
(whoa)
Blastin' out to Johnny Cash, headin' for the highway,
Baby we ain't ever comin' back.
What do you say we go get married by a preacher man that looks like Elvis.
(yeah momma)
Sugar don't you worry bout tellin' your momma goodbye,
We'll send her a souvenier postcard from the wild side.
Throw your suitcase in the back,

good song. about quitting, taking your girlfriend and just leaving all your problems behind.
This song is about freedom. Maybe you're tired of your mundane life and you just want to pack up and take off without a plan, hence the phone call to the girlfriend minutes before leaving and deciding once you get there to get married.
I think that it is a great song! Johnny Cash was a hero and for a song to be named after him (even though he is only mentioned in the song like 3 or 4 times) is very cool! This is a song we turn up loud at work and then we get yelled at but this is one that will live on forever
