Johnny Cash Man in Black

Well, you wonder why I always dress in black, Why you never see bright colors on my back, And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone. Well, there s a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he s a victim of the times.
