Praises be to old Johnny Cash
he's not around any more
when he lost June Carter we lost him fast
I'll just listen to John's records from my own private stash
it was many years ago
when John was a big smash.
Glory be to old John Denver
who died in a plane crash
it was worse than a little fender bender
I'll just listen to John's records they're a real heart mender
it was many years ago
when John was a hit winner .
Out with the old and in with the new
I still like to keep the old near
for they had a different point of view
and I wish that they were all still here
Praises be to old John Prine
who gets lost in his music
to keep from losing what's left of his mind
I'll just listen to John's records when I have the time
it was many years ago
when John was a gold mine.
Glory be to old John Mellencamp
who can sing country and rock
that's him walking down the plane's ramp
I'll just listen to John's records and turn up the amp
it was many years ago
when John sang Jack and Diane.
Out with the old and in with the new
I still like to keep the old near
for they had a different point of view
and I wish that they were all still here.
I'll just listen to John's records...
