Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

More quotes by Johnny Cash
Oh, I'd love to wear a rainbow everyday, And tell the world that everything's okay, But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back, Till things are brighter, I'm the Man in Black.
Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Johnny Cash
I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
Johnny Cash
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Johnny Cash
I worked there [on Pontiac] three weeks, got really sick of it, went back home and joined the Air Force.
Johnny Cash
It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.
Johnny Cash
When I think about country music, I think about America.
Johnny Cash
When I'm gone I'll be remembered as the workin' man who put his point across with a right hand full of knuckles.
Johnny Cash
I'm not really concerned about boundaries. I just follow my conscience and my heart. Follow your heart. That's what I do. Compassion is something I have a lot of, because I've been through a lot of pain in my life. Anybody who has suffered a lot of pain has a lot of compassion.
Johnny Cash
The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.
Johnny Cash
Creative people have to be fed from the divine source. I have to get fed. I had to get filled up in order to pour out.
Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Johnny Cash
Life and love go on, let the music play.
Johnny Cash
My mother told me to keep on singing, and that kept me working through the cotton fields. She said God has his hand on you. You'll be singing for the world someday.
Johnny Cash
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
Johnny Cash
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
Johnny Cash
You can ask the people around me. I don't give up. I don't give up. I don't give - and it's not out of frustration and desperation that I say I don't give up. I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.
Johnny Cash
Gospel music is so ingrained into my bones. I can't do a concert without singing a gospel song. It's what I was raised on.
Johnny Cash
I've never been accused of a felony. I never spent time behind bars except for a few overnight jail times back in the Sixties. [But] I think there's a little bit of a criminal in all of us. Everybody's done something they don't want anybody to know about.
Johnny Cash
God Ain't no stained glass window, cause he never keeps his window closed.
