From the album "Johnny Cash is Coming to Town" (1987), Johnny Cash's first album for Mercury Records after leaving Columbia Records, in which Johnny Cash worked from 1959 to 1987.👍
"Too many years of fighting the weather, and too many nights of not being together" Oh man - that's just one of the most anguished lines in all of music.
In 1985, The Highwaymen country supergroup came to be formed. That quartet included Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash. I believe that this comment is invalid, as that supergroup went on to produce masterpieces along with countless beautiful songs as lone singers.
This song reminds me of the neighborhood 'hobo' Stinky Joe. We didn't call him that. Its what he introduced himself as. Now SJ was really good at math.Really REALLY good at math. But instead of following his passion he chose what he called "the simple life." Playing on his old beat up guitar and helping kids with their homework. One day my Daddy went to go give SJ some supper and found him laying there dead with a big smile. RIP Stinky. The whole neighborhood was at your funeral. So was Mr.Cash.
This Country Music Hall of Fame Johnny Cash video, features Jo Motta as Alice the Dallas whore along with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Jim Varney and Guy Clark, the writer of the song. A truly classic video!
OMG you answered all my questions :-) I wondered who played the Dallas Whore and did not even notice Guy Clark as the man cleaning the room :-) Great thanks. I beleive this song has all that makes great poetry, Life, Love and Death, and even transcendental joke in the end as bonus.
this is a cool video - it's awesome to see Waylon Jennings in it and the man who wrote this song, Guy Clark, in it. I'll always love Guy's version best though. Nobody can sing it like Guy, imo.
Well as a black man you should know Johnny cash was the pioneer and original gangster that started rap and hip hop. He was singing about hoes, drugs, shootouts, prison and life on the streets long before snoop , Dre and N.W.A lol
I love the use of the lesser used and know theremin instrument in this song. It give a haunting impression, perhaps as haunting as the roads we all choose not to travel down, but lives in the fondness of our memories.
This cover is amazing !!! And Johnny's personal "touch" .... words cannot describe it !!! I am not an American, but I am trully happy that America had such a great man !!! Hang on to such real values ....
I Think one major idiom of country music was that it stuck to it's root, oldies but goldies like this where passed down from one generation to another it was the something old, that kept country music, country, and even rock borrowed and admired in it until it went pop and now, well now it sucks.
@AnonymousVoid You got that right! Good artists like Johny Cash and Boxcar Willie were TRUE country music artists, unlike the shit they call "country" these days.
I'm going to break the long chain of comments about music's life-fullness, with an experience brought on by this song. Is it just me (I know Johnny is dead and lives on through his soul and music.) but when Johnny appears on the video in the black suit towards the end. It felt like he might have recorded this yesterday, or even just an hour ago. Personally I am amazed at that type of beauty in work.
When the peculiarities of human nature and their ways get the best of us. Nature in its infinite wisdom and eternal mysteries prides for us all to the smooth sailing and the troubled waters, pray for them as they pass by, for who can account for what separates them from us?
I love Guy's version of this song. Johnny does a great job, but I keep wishing it was Guy's voice singing it. Sometimes I think it's the first version of a song you hear that you prefer. Since I heard Guy do this first, everyone else's version has to live up to his.
Well This man is the reason for many of the singers of now. This man is the man in Black and will always be the only one. Legends never die Heros r remembered
Pre mňa veľké prekvapenie,Johnny Cash s fúzami .Let him roll! Ďaľšia krásna pesnička. " Nech sa vráti", čo by si z nás prialo veľa ľudí, aby sa vrátilo veľa pekných chvíľ , žiaľ nejde to. To je legenda country, skvelý Johnny Cash.
I've always felt I was born "before my time" as crazy as that might sound but, I've always had a taste for old music and this is a great example... the story line is a bit crazy but it gives you a sence of "feeling" as in back when music had meaning... Love this song. :)
Music is timeless. That's the point. Is it only supposed to count if you were around in the first years the song came out? Music taste doesnt have a date..
Just look at Johnny’s facial expressions, every time he looks at you, he connects with your soul. God bless Johnny Cash!❤
Nice song. Truly a gem written by Guy Clark, one the world's premier songwriters.
Good to see Waymore and John together again. Let 'em roll. We will never look on their likes again.

Oh man - that's just one of the most anguished lines in all of music.
Johnny Cash smooth yet gravelly voice gave so much meaning to his hymnals. Guy Clark may have wrote this but this is Johnny’s song.
Guy Clark - the songwriting genius of this song, is sweeping the floor when they through the personal affects -
Excellent eye, sir; I almost missed him myself 'til the tell-tale ring caught my eye.
IMHO - Guy Clark was a very underappreciated singer songwriter.
1.2 million views, and you never heard it on the radio. Thanks UA-cam.
RIP Johnny Cash & Jim Varney.

While I agree that popular country music is dead, there still a few good ol' boys that can play a tune.
Some times, one is lucky to live among Gods. I was lucky. I grew up with Elvis, Sinatra and the greatest of them all, JOHNNY CASH.
Wish there were more Johnny Cash music videos
Cash with mustache!! That's a miracle, man :o
Lucas Fialho HaHa The CashStache

Absolutely awesome
Wow, these are awesome lyrics. Amazing.
02:57 you can see Guy Clark, the man who wrote the song, with trademark cigarette in mouth.
Johnny Cash is just the best :)
