Cat's In The Cradle-Johnny Cash

This is a Little video i made about the song cat's in the cradle by Johnny Cash
(R.I.P Johnny)sorry but a little bit of the start got cut off

LIRYCS: A child arrived the other day,
He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
He learned to walk while I was away,
And he was talking 'fore I knew it.
And as he grew he'd say, "I'm gonna be like you dad,
You know I'm gonna be like you."

Chorus:
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home dad? "I don't know when,
But we'll get together then,
You know we'll have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day,
He said, "Thanks for the ball come on let's play,
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today,
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
He walked away but his smile never dimmed,
He said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him."

Chorus

Well he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while."
He shook his head and then he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys,
See you later can I have them please."


2nd Chorus:
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon.
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
When you coming home son? "I don't know when,
But we'll have a good time then dad,
You know we'll have a good time then."

I've long since retired my son's moved away.
I called him up just the other day,
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to dad if I could find the time,
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talking to you dad,
It's been sure nice talking to you."

Bridge:
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me

@MrDarkShadow64 Seems you're right. I keep looking for a bad song from the man, been looking over forty years, and I keep finding jewels like this. Still, I'll keep lookin', listenin' and lovin'. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. Love the man in black.

@TabooGoose Sad :(

[TabooGoose]

This reminds me of my relationship with my dad, he never taught me to throw a ball or even ride a bike, I had to do it all by myself. Right now he lives in London, and I live in New Jersey, and we rarely spend any time together, whenever I see him he's always on his phone. I wish I knew him better.

johnny's awesome . . . like it better than the original, lol. Also, love his cover of Personal Jesus.

Johnny nailed this one....well done......

@psiilva5 The original was written by Harry and Sandra Chapin, and was released on Harry's album Verities and Balderash. In 1989 Johnny Cash covered it and in 1990 released it on his album Boom Chikca Boom. In 1992 Ugly Kid Joe covered it, NOT Guns N Roses, and they released it on their album America's Least Wanted.

(I did an report on this for Music class in school.) Hope that clears things out...

@AtomIsQuo Because the world no longer has the same feeling of togetherness and overcoming it's now all about misogyny and self rightousness no one is ever reaching to others The up and coming artists shouldn't be artists and they are the only ones thriving as the older generations die off making live music extinct and the only people to talk to about the feeling of the music only want to talk about new artists and how terrible their music is

[Noacuervo]

@AtomIsQuo yeah that's true. I guess you're right.

[AtomIsQuo]

@Noacuervo How are you born in the wrong generation? For music, 2012 is pretty amazing. You can listen to almost every single piece of music ever made on the internet now.
