The Ghost that Walks the Line (J.Cash Tribute)


Written By: The RigGator
Preformed By: The RigGator
Verse 1
I was walking past the Ryman when a Stranger came up to me.
He was dressed out all in black,
From his head down to his feet.
Well he looked right down upon me, and he stood over 6 feet tall.
And the deep tone voice that come outta that man
Echoed right through the walls of that old time music hall.
He said I said I see that your a music singer, and that
Guitar by your side.
Do you have what it takes though,
Son can you walk that line.

Chorus:

Cause I've played my share of places for all of the world to see!
From Rock N Roll
To Gospel Soul
What you now call Country!
Yea Songs about,
Momma,
Living and Loving
Stories that were hard to tell.
A women named June
And a boy named Sue
Even stories about a prison cell.
In these walls my stories you will find.
Remember son I'm The Ghost That Walks The Line.

Verse 2:

When the stranger finished talking, He slowly turned around.
In a flash he was gone, Dissapearing in the wind
And he was nowhere to be found .
So I sat down on the corner,
and felt a cold chill inside.
The visit from that stranger,
I just couldn't believe my eyes.
But if you ever walk past the Ryman,
Just along around midnight!
When the moon is full
And it cast an erie light.
Listen close and you might find
That Ghost that walks the Line.

Chorus:

Cause He's played his share of places for all of the world to see!

From Rock N Roll

To Gospel Soul

What you now call Country!

Yea Songs about,

Momma,

Living and Loving

Stories that were hard to tell.

A women named June

And a boy named Sue

Even stories about a prison cell.

In these walls my stories you will find.

Remember son He's The Ghost That Walks The Line.

Repeat Chorus:

He's Just The Ghost That Walks The Line.
Yea He's Still Walking the Line.

Ok RG, a song usually means "I" get to hear some music.
"I" am very selfish that way.
Please, if you have these lyrics to music somewhere. Post them on your profile. I would like to hear it.
Thanks.

Working on demo now it will be up soon I promise what did you think of the lyrical aspect

I have a hard time with this because I go more by feel than lyrical content. If I don't feel something from the song the lyrics are just pointless with me. I couldn't tell you one complete line in the first 1000 songs I liked. As poetry I can critique it for you:

remove he stood 6 feet tall: it removes the dominating sense that your after. 6' is not that tall in this age.

Very good representation. I knew it was about Johnny just before I got to a woman named June and a boy named Sue.

This seems like a great country song. Not modern country (which makes me wanna puke) but a traditional country song.

This could be a good one to shop out to a traditional country artist (which are the only "artists" in country at this time IMO)

"my dog is a bitch"

Yea I do suppose your right maybe 7 feet tall then?

Hey Rig, I feel the lyrics are pretty good. There are a few things I would change, but that's my style. I'd like to hear the music you have to it. Even if it's only acoustic. I feel you have a very nice Traditional style country song there. Keep up the good work....

Hey Rig, I enjoyed the lyrics, though I would omit a few words, mostly because the lines are too long in some sentences. Defiently country though, reminded me of Johnny Cash, all dressed in black and walking the line. Anyways, I certainly felt the tune to it and could it hear it being sung. Perhaps when you get the demo up on it, I can see how off I was on the tune that's in my head and what you yourself have come up with. I've been transposing poetry into songs for more than 25 years now. I started with a friend of mine, she was in college and I in high school, she hated poetry, yet had to take a class in it, me on the other hand I have a nack for being creative with most anything, a trait I got from my grandfather. So, when she had to transpose the poetry in class, she'd call me and I do her assignment for her. Well she passed the class, so, I did something right. So, lets hook up, perhaps I can help you, perhaps I can't, yet it's worth a try.
