Johnny Cash Cool
(Rick Whitwood)
c.2015 Rainflower Songs

My mama she told me on my very first day of school
My mama she told me on my very first day of school
Walk a straight line and follow the rules
I'd rather raise a dreamer than I would a fool
Keep your head up, your'e gonna be Johnny Cash Cool

When I hit the first grade you know my hair was long
When I hit the first grade you know my hair was long
I was theacher's pet I couldn't do no wrong
I walk the halls and sang my song
In twelve short years you know I'm gonna be gone

I grew up strong and I always dressed in black
I grew up strong and I always dressed in black
A gut bucket bass and a snare drum crack
Once you go down you never turn back
I still carry my guitar in a gunny sack

The preacher came callin' with a bible in his hand
Yes, The preacher came callin' with a bible in his hand
Don't send a boy when it takes a man
He was speaking in tongues I couldn't understand
I'm right sure that Jesus loves a rock 'n' roll band

Mama she told me on my very first day of school
Mama she told me on my very first day of school
Walk a straight line and follow the rules
I'd rather raise a dreamer than I would a fool
Keep your head up, your'e gonna be Johnny Cash Cool
