Story Behind The Song

I wrote down evrything I could think of that I've got that has anything to do with Johnny Cash

Song Description

I don't have a lot of money but I've got a lot of Johnny Cash stuff.

Lyrics

I drive a truck for a living
At a pretty good wage
But my checkbook runs a deficit
On every page
So I dug out the Mastercard
To fill my tank with gas
But the lady said our machine is down
Have you got any cash

And I said I got every album he ever made
Over 2000 songs I can play
I've got CD's, LP's, cassettes and 45's
And pictures I took when I saw him live
8-Tracks, videos and DVD's
A CD clock, a comicbook and countless magazines
A belt buckle, T-shirts and a coffee cup
Bumperstickers, bandanas and concert ticket stubs
All three books that he wrote and a lot of memories
I got an autographed photograph from 1983
Letters that he wrote me and I saved `em all
I got a Platinum and a Gold Record hanging on my wall
I've been to House Of Cash where I met his Mom
Talked for three hours with his brother Tom
Now I may not be the richest man or have too big a stash
But you can bet your bottom dollar,
I Got Cash

Like everyone my bills keep rising
And plunge me deeper in debt
The more I try to work and save
The worse off I get
Every week I earn my paycheck
And it's gone in a flash
Today my wife said honey it'd sure be nice
If you had a little cash
