Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

I'm not a savior and I'm not a saint
The man with the answers, I certainly ain't
I wouldn't tell you what's right or what's wrong
I'm just a singer of songs

But I can take you for a walk along a little country stream
I can make you see through lovers eyes and understand their dreams
I can help you hear a baby's laugh and feel the joy it brings
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing

I'm not a prophet and I'm not a priest
I'm not a wise man who's come from the East
I wouldn't tell you what's right or what's wrong
I'm just a singer of songs

But I can take you to a city where a Man was crucified
I can tell you how He lived and I can tell you why He died
I can help proclaim the glory of this Mighty King of kings
Yes, I can do it with the songs I sing

I'm not a great man, I don't claim to be
But when I meet my Maker and He questions me
I won't hang my head, I'll stand proud and strong
And say, "I was a singer, Lord, I was a singer
Yes, I was a singer of songs"
