Right now I'd like to introduce you to the one that really makes it all worthwhile for me, my wife June Carter.
[G] Thank you very much.
[Cm]
[E] You know a lot of people ask the question, they say to Johnny Cash, they say,
John, say how do you do it?
How do you sing about the prisons and the cotton [Cm] fields and the poor folks and all of that,
when that's not the way it is anymore?
Say, it's not really real anymore.
But John says he's got a good memory.
And Johnny Cash is sometimes a very troubled man,
and I know that first of all because I'm close to him.
And I've written a little song that kind of tells about some of his fears and some of the things that I think about Johnny Cash,
and I wrote this for him.
If it's alright, I'd like to sing it for you.
It's called A Good Man.
