Cash In My Heart (John R. On My Mind)
A giant of a man, all dressed in black
Standing like a rock, guitar on his back
Charisma, pure magic, and one of a kind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
He first crossed my path when I was just ten
He conquered my heart to never leave again
The best kind of music I ever could find
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
An icon for many, a one-of-a-kind
We still miss someone, and we all walk the line
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
With a heart full of music, and a head full of songs
And that boom-chicka-boom, he couldn’t go wrong
To not notice him, well, you’d have had to be blind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
An icon for many, a one-of-a-kind
We still miss someone, and we all walk the line
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
He outsold the Beatles, he outlived the king
And the whole town would listen when his thumb touched a string
And when the world wrote him off, new success would unwind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
I still spend my money on the records he made
And of the times that I met him, there’s none I would trade
A treasure to me and all of mankind
I got Cash in my heart, and John R. on my mind
Yeah, I still miss someone, and I still walk the line
