LYRICS
Now, Johnny Cash, the man in black, was at the Grand Ole Opry
Drunk with ambition, whiskey and coffee
He was dancing with demons. Nothing could stop him tonight, tonight
It felt like a church, he said a little prayer
Ran to the stage taking two and three stairs
You can heckle old Johnny, hell he wouldn't care 'cause tonight,
He's gonna kick out the lights.
Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash
Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash
Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash
Kick out the lights
Now you can play a big theater to chandeliers and pearls
Rage inside a stadium to rows of pretty girls
Take your fancy jet, tour around the world, if you like, it's alright
Or you can play Folsom prison to the robbers, the crooks
To 300 killers giving back dirty looks
If there's a prison riot, you're gonna get the hook, so tonight, you better kick out the lights
Chorus
Play, play on John. Johnny until the light goes on
Play, play on John. Johnny until the light goes on
So go on sing your little love songs about lying and leaving
Your mama's good cooking, how you can't break even
Your pick-up truck, how your girlfriend's cheating, it's alright, if you like
Or you can sing a ring of fire, and how God cut you down
About cocaine, freight trains, Sunday morning coming down
How you shot a man in Reno just to paint the town, you're damn right. You'd be kicking
out the lights.
