Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
Following the footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors
Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul
The poisoned air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dyin''Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
Of the clickin' of the turnstile and the rattle of his chain "Oh," she said, "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you""
Here," she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile""
See," she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please you""
Lord," she said, "Casey can you only stay a while" Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden CrownFor something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bonesSeein' his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
Who reach for anything they can to keep from goin' home
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Never glancin' in the mirror at the people passin' by
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye "Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me""
Now," she said, "now that you've a family of your own""
Still," she said, "it's so blessed good to feel your body""
Lord," she said, "Casey it's a shame to be alone!"
Johnny Cash (Kingsland, Arkansas, 26 febbraio 1932 – Nashville, Tennessee, 12 settembre 2003) è stato un cantante, musicista e attore statunitense, considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica country. Nato in una famiglia contadina del profondo sud, Cash iniziò a cantare nella chiesa locale e ad ascoltare la musica country alla radio. Dopo il servizio militare in Germania, dove imparò a suonare la chitarra, si trasferì a Memphis e iniziò la sua carriera musicale. Il suo stile unico, caratterizzato da un'intensa voce baritonale e testi spesso autobiografici che affrontavano temi come la povertà, la giustizia sociale e la lotta contro le dipendenze, lo rese rapidamente popolare. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Ring of Fire", "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues" e "A Boy Named Sue". Cash ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui June Carter Cash, sua moglie dal 1968 fino alla sua morte. Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui il Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award nel 1997. La sua musica continua ad essere apprezzata da generazioni di fan in tutto il mondo.
