Would You Lay with Me - I Am Johnny Cash

Would you lay with me In a field of stone If my needs were strong Would you lay with me Should my lips grow dry Would you wet them dear In the midnight hour If my lips were dry? Would you go away to another land Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand Wipe the blood away from my dieing hands If I give myself to you? Will you bathe with me In the stream of life? When the moon is full Will you bathe with me? Will you still love me When I'm down and out? In my time of trial Will you stand by me? Would you go away to another land Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand Wipe the blood away from my dieing hands If I give myself to you? Would you lay with me In a field of stone? (Would you lay with me) Should my lips grow dry (in a field of stone?) Would you wet them dear? (Should my lips grow dry) Would you bathe with me (would you wet them dear?) In the stream of life? (Would you bathe with me) Would you still love me (in the stream of life?) When I'm down and out? (Would you still love me) Would you bathe with me (when I'm down and out?) In a field of stone? (Would you lay with me) Should my lips grow dry (in a field of stone?) Would you wet them dear? Would you bathe with me?

You got a hunting cap on You're up at dawn with me But we don't shoot at deer So we just sit right here and sing And we've been up at night And our eyes are tired But now there's light enough to see So if I leave right now Would you come with me? I had this sadness Creeping like vines over me I didn't get what I want So I just took what wanted me And I was making bad bets For when the odds look good You gotta play the hand you see So if I leave right now Would you come with me? I think I could leave right now If you'd come with me I got this friend, she doesn't like to fly But that don't bother her none, no She's taking trips all the time And I wish I was that friend, flying away But I got my feet right on the ground So if I leave right now Would you come with me? I swear I would leave right now If you'd come right now I swear I would leave right now Leave right now Leave right now Leave right now I would leave right now If you'd come with me

You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in the voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet He called my name and my heart stood still When he said, "John go do My will!" Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
