Johnny Cash - Ballad of barbara

^AIn a southern town where I was born ^AThat's where I g^Eot my edu^Acation ^AI worked in the fields and I walked in the woods ^AAnd I wondered ^Eat ^Acreation

^AI recall the sun in a sky of blue ^AAnd the smell of ^Egreen things ^Agrowin' ^AAnd I lived everyday and I lived anyway ^AAnyway the ^Ewind was ^Ablowin'

^ABut then I heard of a cultured city life ^ABreath-takin' ^Elofty s^Ateeples ^AAnd the day I called myself a man ^AI left my ^Eland and my ^Apeople

^DAnd I rambled North and I rambled East ^DAnd I tested ^Aand I ^Dtasted ^DAnd a girl or two took me round and round ^DBut always ^Aleft me ^Dwasted

^DIn a world that saw concrete and steel ^DWith nothin' ^Agreen ever ^Dgrowin' ^DWhere the buildings hide the rising sun ^DAnd stop the ^Afree wind from ^Dblowin'

^DWhere they sleep all day and they wake all night ^DTo a world of d^Arink and ^Dlaughter ^DI met that girl that I thought would be ^DThe one that ^AI was ^Dafter

^AIn a soft blue gown and a formal tux ^ABeneath that ^Elofty ^Asteeple ^AHe said do you Barbra take this man ^AWill you be one ^Eof his ^Apeople

^AAnd she said I will and she said I do ^AAnd the world looked ^Emighty ^Apretty ^AAnd we lived in a fancy downtown flat ^ACause she loved the ^Enoisy ^Acity

^AThen the days grew cold beneath the yellow sky ^AAnd I longed for g^Ereen t^Ahings growin' ^AAnd I talked of home and my people there ^ABut she'd not ag^Eree to ^Agoin'

^EThen her hazel eyes turned away from me ^EWith a look that wa^Bsn't very ^Epretty ^EAnd she turned into concrete and steel ^EAnd she said I t^Bake the ^Ecity

^ANow the cars go by on the interstate ^AAnd my pack is ^Eon my s^Ahoulder ^AAnd I'm goin' home where I belong ^AMuch wiser ^Enow and o^Alder
