Lillehammer Lyrics by Mourning Dawn in City of Lost Men Album.
Lillehammer Lyric
I was born in Lillehammer
That’s a long way from Tennessee
I always knew I’d get to Nashville
with a banjo on my knee
When I got to music city
All my heroes had up and died
All the soul of country music
was dead and gone and so I cried
Hey Johnny Cash
I got the honky-tonk blues
looking for the man in black
That big machine in Nashville
ain’t gonna bring him back
Hey Johnny Cash
I search in vain like a miner
I’m diggin’ deep down in the mine
for silver strands of country music
Golden songs from another time
Hey Johnny Cash
I got the honky-tonk blues
looking for the man in black
That big machine in Nashville
ain’t gonna bring him back
Hey Johnny Cash
In the boneyard behind the Ryman
buried deep beneath the clay
Johnny’s heart is turning over
yearning for a brighter day
Hey Johnny Cash
I got the honky-tonk blues
looking for the man in black
That big machine in Nashville
ain’t gonna bring him back
Hey Johnny Cash
