JOHNNY CASH LYRICS

"I Never Picked Cotton"

[Chorus] I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine

When I was just a baby Too little for a cotton sack I played in the dirt While the others worked 'Til they couldn't straighten up their backs I made myself a promise When I was big enough to run That I'd never stay a single day In that Oklahoma sun

[Chorus] Folks said I grew up early And that the farm couldn't hold me then so I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck And I never went back again Then it was fast cars and whiskey Long haired girls and fun I had everything that money could bring And I took it all with a gun

[Chorus] It was Saturday night in Memphis When a redneck grabbed my shirt When he said go back to your cotton sack I left him dying in the dirt They'll take me in the morning To the gallos just outside And in the time I got There ain't a hell of alot That I can look back on with pride

[Chorus]

[ales]

thanks, but that's not the song i was looking for. "i needed a truck so i stole one" i think it was new in the early 90's when i started listening to country music.

"She Stole My Truck Blues" I have a strange story thats sad to tell
Bought my woman and my truck and a day of hell
Listen close so this dont happen to you

Dont know what I said, but my girl got mad
Grabbed my keys, said something bad
Spun gravel as she flipped a strange salute

CHORUS:
I been down so long I cant find up
I cant even find my pick-up truck
I got MY OLD LADY DONE STOLE MY TRUCK BLUES

I told the cops to go and find
That woman who stole that truck of mine
She took my heart, now Im a grand larceny fool

CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL

BRIDGE:
F-150, you know the kind
I sure do love that truck of mine
And the way that girl was acting, I had to choose

Cops ran her down about a quarter to eight
I bailed her out for our dinner date
She wolfed that food and dropped my keys in the soup

CHORUS:
I been down so long I cant find up
But, at least, I found my pickup truck
And some days 50-50 just has to do

I been down so long I cant find up
But, at least, I found my pickup truck
And some days 50-50 just has to do

Yes, some days 50-50 just has to do

[ales]

no thats not it. thank anyway.
