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 »

Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin' 
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor 
Well I was born in a boomer shack bout a half mile from town 
Papa was a driller on a wildcat crew and my mama never was around 
I learn to cuss when I was two and fight when I was three 
And by the time I was five there was no kid alive could ever get the best of me 
Born to be a roughneck... 
[ banjo ] 
Well I started workin' like a regular man when I was just about knee high 
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands but they never heard me cry 
I remember walkin' down the road and hearin' somebody say 
He was born to live a rougneck's life and he's never gonna change his ways 
Born to be a roughneck... 
Born to be a roughneck...
