The Ghost of Johnny Cash Lyrics

I woke up in a cold sweat, from a dream at 3am,
I was driftin' on a sea of shadows the rain was whippin' in the wind
I saw a man dressed all in black, reach out and take the helm,
And he charted us a course, out into the spirit realm.
I can taste the salt, feel the blisters on my hand
As I'm pulling at the ores, rowing on the glory land,
He's sitting in the stern, singin' hymns and talkin' trash
Is my broke guardian angel, the Ghost of Johnny Cash.
Well, Johnny's quoting from the bible, while I'm trying to steer this leaky craft,
His familiar voice reminds me that I'm man who's cut in half,
His tarnished halo slips and shines, and the raging bellows crash,
and I'm riding out the deluge with the ghost of Johnny Cash.
Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
'Cause when your down here on your knees, most angels look to tall,
So I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash,

With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash,

You gotta stand for something, 'cause when you're gone your gone
The devil lost a lot of souls when Johnny put that black suit on,
He's still flipping of the fairicies, laughing that old scratch
While he haunts the halls of heaven , the ghosts of Johnny Cash
Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
'Cause when your down here on your knees, most angels look to tall,
So I'll just live this life out, dust to dust and ash to ash
With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash,
Yeah, I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash
Until I'm raisin' hell in heaven with the ghost, of ,Johnny Cash
