[N]
How does it feel to [B] be covered by the late great Johnny [Bb] Cash?
Your thoughts on his version of Rusty Lynch?
He was alive when he [G] did the cover.
Yeah, thank God.
Oh my God.
No, [C] I know.
It was an honor.
Definite honor.
Yeah, it was an amazing thing.
Actually, I saw some [G] Bob Dylan documentary.
I don't remember [Gb] which one, because there's a [G] lot of them,
where he talks about that.
He's still young, I think, when he's talking about it,
and saying [E] how great it was that Johnny [Bb] Cash did one of his [F] songs.
We felt [Gb] the same way.
That's the one thing we have in common with Bob Dylan,
[F] that we [D] appreciated that.
[B] I remember [Dbm]
he [B] was interviewed by Larry King,
and he was talking about the lyrics of Rusty Cage,
reminding him of beat poetry,
and [A] his version of the song [Abm] really brought out the lyric of that [G] song
in a way that [A] only he can.
Yeah, I [Gb] got messages on my answering [F] machine
that was back when you had answering machines.
[Bb]
Oh, Kim still has one.
Okay.
[Eb]
[D] I got about ten of them saying that they heard Johnny Cash's [F] version of Rusty Cage
and how great the lyrics were,
and I thought, when our version came out, [C] I didn't get one exact message.
