To Aspiring Songwriters : Notice Mr. Cash's breakthrough storytelling lyrical moment. His writing frame of reference suddenly dollied the scene back as a director: "He looked down, his long hair". Not; 'clutched' or 'stroked' or 'pulled'. Only 3 words: 'his long hair". To my genius friend, Brian Mallen, and myself, in 1970, this observation was magical to us.
Hey you all! I'm from germany. I'm a fan since many years. His music gives me strengh when I needed it, and still today, many of his songs are some of the best I ever heard. Sadly most people only know his "rough/hard" titles. In my opinion one can see what a good musician he really is, when you listen to songs like this. More examples-> cold & empty or midnight train to memphis. Hearing him sing for Johnny is amazing!
Johnny Cash in life was the voice of the Rebels. He sang for us, and he was the only one who would fly the Rebel flag and no one would dare challenge him about it. Ever since Johnny has died I believe that Kid rock has taken over, even though he is not even a southerner. Sing on, our new man in black
Johnny Cash is one of my favorite performers of all time. I was a little scared to hear this but hey, as usual, Kid Rock did it well. I've always admired Kid Rock's ability to go from one style of music fluidly into another. This adds another dimension to it for me. Thanks for posting this. I love how well this song still fits in this day and age. Perhaps they ought to do a duet with Cash and re-release it...

Are you ready to die?
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart. have u done that?
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? Does this concern you?
Do u need a Savior from your sins?
Jesus came, lived a sinless life, died (for our sins) and rose again on the third day.

I don't see why people hate on Kid Rock so much. He's a good singer and an excellent showman.

Great song, and a nice job. I wonder how many people my age (50) react to the song without knowing that is was written in about 1970.
Thank you for posting it, although I'd love to see Johnny Cash's version up.
