Jonny Cash Cocain blues

This was recorded live from Folsom prison. Johnny Cash was such a bad ass. The first time i herd this song i was four years old. My father was always listening to Johnny Cash.

One of my all time favs is "Roughneck"
Born to be a roughneck I'll never amount to nothin'
Pullin' case and layin' pipe is hard labor
Well I was born in a boomer shack bout a half mile from town
Papa was a driller on a wildcat crew and my mama never was around
I learn to cuss when I was two and fight when I was three
And by the time I was five there was no kid alive could ever get the best of me
Born to be a roughneck...
[ banjo ]
Well I started workin' like a regular man when I was just about knee high
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands but they never heard me cry
I remember walkin' down the road and hearin' somebody say
He was born to live a rougneck's life and he's never gonna change his ways
Born to be a roughneck...
Born to be a roughneck...

I disagree with the majority in this sift-decision. A. Yes, this song is fantastic. B. Yet, there is no video--there is one, solitary man. C. Yes, that was purposeful. D. If we allow this floodgate to open, we will be enveloped in a swamp of nonsensical still-image-accompanying great jams.
Look, I said this before, sifted music should be videos.
Case closed.

Gee whiz, that wasn't much of a discussion at all. Well, I appreciate the link that enabled 45 downvotes. Apparently, I was guilty of pulling the same shit on a Muddy Waters song. I *killed it to prove my point. Fuck audiosift.
