Silverstein Now you know some fellahs, they want fame and fortune Yeah, and other fellahs they just wanna swing But all I wanted all my life Was a TV set and a truck and a wife And a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing Yeah the TV and the truck I got on credit And I got that girl with a little old Woolworth ring And life was warm and life was sweet But still, it was kinda incomplete Without a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing Hey, John you walk the line Do "Delia" one more time And when you do them "Cottonfields" You warm this heart of mine So, one day I thought, Hey, I'm gonna do it!

And I guess that judge, he weren't no music lover I got fifteen months but that don't mean a thing Cos' yesterday in the prison yard A show come through and HAR! de HAR! I had a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing Hey, John you walk the line, ...
