Johnny Cash Johnny Cash - The Mystery Of Life Lyrics

Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders they don't slow for the curves in the road
They hate to keep logs they hate riders on hogs watch out for shift in your load
When I was young I had a Gene Autry gun but I never had a Lionel train
Now I've got a truck if I keep payments up and it weights thirty tons in the rain

I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams my money is chained to my belt
I wear a cat cap just like my pap he drove till it ruined his health
Now Georgia Bill Smith wore thick glasses and boots
He could see about as far as he could walk
He came up too fast on that bridge overpass Lord the preacher sure gave a fine talk
When I was young...
[ dobro ]
I've read a few lines from the poets and sometimes I might cross the line
I don't know the answer to the mystery of life but a woman sure helps pass the time
When I was young...
When I was young...
