1
Every man has to come to a crossroad somewhere along the way.
2
Johnny Cash came to his crossroad in a place called Nickajack Cave.
3
Little white pills and whiskey
4
Honky tonks and smoke
5
One night stands with his country band
6
Had him strung out on the ropes
7
Well, he cried out to Jesus
8
He said, "Jesus, I think I'm too lost to save."
9
He already had one foot inside the grave
10
As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave
11
Everything was darkness
12
Wasn't no light at all
13
Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt
14
And the spiders on the walls
15
Well, he laid down beneath a ledge
16
And curled up there to meet his judgement day
17
The shivering came upon him wave by wave
18
Well, he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave
19
Then high above him shone a light
20
He never would forget
21
Then he heard a voice say, "Johnny Cash,
22
I aint through with you yet.
23
Get up, i aint through with you yet.
24
I aint through with you get Johnny Cash,
25
Get up."
26
Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge
27
And felt a gentle breeze
28
Tears and dirt smeared on his face
29
As peaceful as could be
30
Well, he knelt down upon the ground
31
Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed
32
He said, "Lord, I'll be your servant from this day."
33
That's how he became "The Man In Black" in Nickajack Cave
34
That's how he became "The Man In Black" in Nickajack Cave
35
Get up Johnny Cash, I aint through with you yet
36
Get up
