Well you sure do like Johnny Cash now
Now that they've put him in the ground
You hang his poster on your ceiling
His songs give you a real good feeling
You sure do like Johnny Cash now

Where were you in 1989?
When it looked like Johnny was on the decline
His career was fading
And his shows weren't selling
You were listening to heavy metal
Well you sure do like Johnny Cash now

You sure do like Johnny Cash now
Now that they've put him in the ground
The radio station plays him all the time
Too bad you hardly played him when he was alive
But you sure do like Johnny Cash now
Yeah, you sure do like Johnny Cash now

And you sure did like when he sang the Nine Inch Nails
When he looked like he was dying in that video
You liked that did ya?
He was givin' them the finger
Too bad about all that religion
But you sure do like Johnny Cash now
But you sure do like Johnny Cash now
But you sure do like Johnny Cash now
