[Chorus]
Rowboat, row me to the shore
She don't wanna be my friend no more
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul
She don't wanna be my friend no more

[Verse]
Pick me up
Give me some food to eat
In your truck
Going no place
I'll be home
Talking to nobody
You'll be strange
You'll be far away
Big fat moon
And my body's out of tune
With the burning waves
She's a billion years away
Dog food on the floor
And I've been like this before
She is all
And everything else is small
Pick me up
Give me some alcohol
In your truck
Playing the radio
I'll be home
With the gasoline
You'll be stoned
You'll be far away

[Chorus]
Rowboat, row me to the shore
She don't wanna be my friend no more
She dug a hole in the bottom of my soul
She is all, and everything else is small

Johnny Cash (26 February 1932 – 12 September 2003) was an iconic singer and songwriter who primarily operated in the genre of country music, but was an integral figure in the popularization of rock and roll. One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, he was inducted into the country, rock and roll and gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Known for his somber and humble stage demeanor, he almost always started his concerts with a simple “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash.”

Much of his catalog focuses on the human condition, sorrow, oppression and the hope of redemption. And his catalog is huge, rivaling that of Hank Williams Sr., David Bowie and Prince. Starting in the 50s and ending just before his death in 2003, his deep baritone voice is instantly recognized by music lovers the world over.
