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