Karaoke Track: Man In Black by Johnny Cash (Monster Hits)

Well you wonder
Why I always

Dress in black

Why you never

See bright colors
On my back

And why does
My appea ronce

Seem to have
A somber tone

I wear the block

For the poor
And the beaten down

Livin&#39; in the hopeless,

Hungry side of town

I wear it for
The prisoner

Who has long paid

For his crime

I wear the black for
Those who&#39;ve never read

Or listened to the words
Thai Jesus said

About the road
To happiness

Through love
And cha riiy

Well we&#39;re doin&#39;

Mighty fine,

I do suppose

In our

Sfreak-of-Iighinin&#39; cars
And fancy clothes

But iusf so
We&#39;re reminded

Of the ones
Who are held back

I wear it for the sick

And lonely old

For the reckless ones

Whose bad trip
Left them cold

I wear the block
In mournin&#39;

For the lives
That could have been

And I wear it

For the thousands
Who have died

Believin&#39; that

The Lord

Was on their side

Well there&#39;s things

That never will be
Right I know

And things

Need changin&#39;
Everywhere you go

But Wil we siart
To make a move

To make
A few things right

Oh, I&#39;d love to wear
A rainbow every day

And tell the world
That eve ryihing&#39;s okay

But I&#39;ll try to carry off
A lime darkness

On my back

Til things are brig hfer
I&#39;m the man in black
