How Did You Get Away from Me - June Carter Cash, Anita Carter & Johnny Cash

How did you get How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? How did you get How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? How the hell did I get here? Sometimes I sit here and I wonder I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger All the doubt I had thrown at me, all the time I invested I sit and read my own lyric books Like, "Damn, it must've been destined" Stuck to it, I improvised my way here, no rules Back when it was serious, handin' mixtapes out in my school All I had was my brain and my hunger, had to use that as tools Amount of people that told me no and I turned that into my fuel Slackin' in my schoolwork didn't care much Sisters are gettin' onto me But trust me, this music ting is my prophecy I didn't need to convince them 'cause They saw it all from just watching me Now I got them on sight, confidence rises There ain't no stopping me, I'm unstoppable Got a strong head on my shoulders And bein' good-hearted don't cost it all Times I thought I had lost it all When I ain't even have shit to my name Studio runs on foot, trekking through the rain Made me into what I became, all I wanted to be around Was like-minded people on the same page and I found that in space age Back then, we never had a penny But it didn't matter to us because our soul was nourished Shooting music videos in Chucks' garden with no budget Came up with some real ones, all the talent we had to harvest We didn't always see eye-to-eye but they always had my back regardless That was a pivotal time Breaks my heart it didn't work but we tried Still, I had never aborted the mission All that I've taken is all God has given When Tola's talking to me, then I listen Told to follow my own intuition Go at the pace I set for myself I don't need drums to follow the rhythm Couldn't have planned this, it was just written Many dreams I'm sitting on I'm made up of the same stars that I wish upon Times I thought that my prayers weren't getting answered But, boy was I wrong All it took was me knowing I'm meant to be here It's where I belong, swear I belong, yeah How did you get (like, sometimes I forget) How did you get, get How did you get How did you get here? (But I have to think back and remind myself of the journey) (It's been a beautiful one, yes) Sometimes I sit and I wonder I'm the version of me I always imagined when I was younger All the albums I studied, learned about flow and cadence I sit and listen to my old shit like, "Damn, all it took was patience" Story over the glory, other paths that weren't for me Wasn't much of an academic or road-invested or sporty Made the most with all I blessed with, of the tools in my inventory Things the teachers don't teach you And now the student might lead you If you wanna leave the class, then you're free to Everything here is subjective If you stand where we're standing You might understand the perspective How the hell did you get far? You ain't get no head start All decisions we made is based on Our circumstance, we hope to surpass it Took most of our lifetime to wake up Smell the roses, realize that the world is ours Us and them, but we worlds apart Nothing in life comes easy, and you work twice as hard 'cause you black Used to think mom exaggerated 'til the world showed me it's fact Still, it's mine for the taking, lock the doors, and we break in Still got love for them non-believers Yeah, the ones that said we won't make it Everything you want is out there waiting for you to take it The key is to have faith in your dreams and never stop chasing And you'll make it, trust (How did you get) all it was was perseverance) (How did you get, get) (How did you get) pushing, never giving up (How did you get here?) They built them walls so high up, and we tore 'em down They told us no, we said yes It's okay Some get it, some don't (It didn't take you long to get here) But we keep pushing on (How did you believe you will get here?) And in times of doubt (You didn't sell your soul, but you held on) Always (It didn't take you long to get here) And here we are It's the story of never-ending, it's been a long road Haha Feel good, don't it? Yeah (It didn't take you long to get here) Tell the kids to play this (How did you believe you would get here?) Simz

There was a time When I thought I knew Everything about This great big world Until I met you Into my life Like a brand new sun Now I find my home Inside your eyes Wherever you are It's hard to say it Cause I hide things so good But you make me say it Like only you could I love you More than any man could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you For the longest time Playing games of solitaire Taking my wine But now I'm with you baby And I can dream out loud You're as pretty as a picture And you make me so proud It's hard to say it Cause I hide things so good But you make me say it Like only you could I love you More than any man could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here There? s nothing in this world I couldn't do So how did I get by without you You love me Now I know that I'm the lucky guy You've got me And there's nowhere I can hide So I'll be here I believe that all my dreams came true So how did I get by without you In the morning light To see you wake up next to me It? s a beautiful sight Now everything's alright Yeah I love you More than any words could ever say I need you Baby let me count the ways And I'll be here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you You love me Now I know that I'm the lucky guy You've got me And there's nowhere I can hide So I'll stay here I believe in everything you do So how did I get by without you How did I get by How did I get by without you in my world How did I get by without you as my girl You're beautiful Beautiful So how did I get by without you Without you Without you

I was standing by the window On a cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling To carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky Well I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in that grave Will the circle be unbroken Bye and bye Lord bye and bye There's a better home a waiting In the sky Lord in the sky I went back home that home was lonesome Since my mother, she was gone All my brothers and sisters crying What a home so sad and alone

I have picked wild roses Far into september But I had no one to give the flowers to I needed a celebration A September coronation And I admitted to myself I needed you I've watched the gentle winds change The colors shades of meadows I've seen the dew on flowers that had no name But I let my vase stay empty like my lonely empty heart Picking flowers for yourself is not the same Don't you think it's come our time to be together? Let's gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme Let's go pick some flowers and fill our empty vases Don't you think it's come our time? Would you take this small bouquet that leaves a fragrance on my fingers And a feeling that your love is close at hand Thank you for the flowers, now let's walk through the meadows Through the brook where our demands caress the sand Don't you think it's come our time to be together? Let's gather up our scattered words of love and make them rhyme Let's go pick some flowers now and fill our empty vases Don't you think it's come our time? Don't you think it's come our time?
