Misisipi Mike Voice of Johnny Cash at Slim's

Monday night and the Voice of Johnny Cash is
Talking to a lost soul on a bridge in Natchez
River far below is dark as molasses
When a voice says "man, that ain't no way to go"

Tuesday morning down in New Orleans
sitting on a stoop is a homeless veteran
feeling this whole world has done abandon him
and a voice say "You are not alone"

Wednesday night in San Quentin Prison
a hard luck case is seeking some redemption
down on his knees trying to get some religion
and a voice tells him about a friend he knows

CHORUS:
And I thought that angels only wore white
till I saw an angel in black one night
I was headed for the bottom I was sinking fast
till I heard the Voice of Johnny Cash

Thursday night in an Oakland bus station
a punk rock kid is filled with frustration
he's got no friends got no family relations
and then he here's a voice say "I understand you"

Friday morning on an Indian reservation
a hard working dude is in a bad situation
he's all strung out on prescription medication
and a voice says "I beat that stuff, so can you"

(CHORUS)

Sunday morning coming down like a Montana hail storm
my mind is busted and my heart has been torn
I curse the day that I ever did get born
then I hear a voice say "Walk the LIne"

(CHORUS)

for Jesse Morris, the Punk Rock Johnny Cash. Look for his videos here on Youtube.
