Sing a Song Songtext
von Johnny Cash

He stands there like demon
A guitar for a pitch fork
A stare that looks right through to your soul
He knows they've come to see him
And they wonder why
He can't stand still and he look so tired and old

Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know how hard you have to try

With a smile that charms the women
And a snare that makes men nervous
He sings a song of lovin' fightin' man
The band wonders how he's done it
From what the world did to him
And why it never happen like they plan


Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know how hard you have to try

He pours out songs like water
With each one he seem stronger
From somewhere comes a new found energy
He gives them half his heart
And a slow song love ballad
And I feel a kindred spirit within me

Sing a song, try not to think
Act like it don't hurt
Sing a song to cover up your cry
Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know how hard you have to try

Make 'em laugh, let 'em dance
You know that you'll make it
But they don't know how hard you have to try
It's over now and you've more than gotten by
