[Verse 1] If you really wanna make some sense Talk about him like the king he is He sang a song that everyone knows
Studio in 1956 That was when the record hit The man had music in his soul
[Chorus] And on that very day, a legend was made They built him out of flesh and bone And on the day he died, everyone cried For the man in black with a heart of gold
[Verse 2] Can hear his music 'cross the countryside On Louisiana hayride Johnny Cash and the Tenessee [?]
Drove a Plymouth 'cross the nation The Grand Ole Opry's walls were shaking Stomped so hard they thought the floor would break right through
[Chorus] And on that very day, a legend was made They built him out of flesh and bone And on the day he died, everyone cried For the man in black with a heart of gold
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3] People say he sang the devil's tune But he could sing the gospel, too Sweet enough to make a grown man cry
Then he busted through the prison gates Tracked a record with the inmates Manmade country music walked the line
[Chorus] And on that very day, a legend was made They built him out of flesh and bone And on the day he died, everyone cried For the man in black with a heart of gold
[Verse 4] Left his home in Arkansas A farm boy lookin' for a job Operatin' Air Force radios
