Lyrics
My boots are filled with desert sand , it's hot as hell all day
And though we're here to lend a hand , they kill us anyway
It ain't my job to understand , I keep my questions to myself
I'm prayin' we'll all get home soon , I miss my baby and my wife...
Then I see the man in black , shinin' in a ring of fire
He tells me don't you worry son you're gonna win the day...
It's THE AMERICAN WAY.....it's THE AMERICAN WAY
She cries herself to sleep at night , come day she keeps it strong
A yellow ribbon 'round the tree , she keeps the porch-light on
All she's got is this old farm....another baby's on the way
She needs her man back in her arms and she prays for it everyday...
Then she sees the man in black , shinin' in a ring of fire
He tells her don't you worry ma'am you're gonna win the day...
It's THE AMERICAN WAY.....it's THE AMERICAN WAY...
It's JOHNNY CASH'S WAY ...... thank you JOHNNY
This one's for you......from AMERICA.......with LOVE........
