You Beat All I Ever Saw Lyrics
(Johnny Cash)
© '67 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP
I've walked though every town saw fortunes lost and found
And when your trail failed I walked holes in both my soles
But I don't expect you back you're somewhere making tracks
I crossed the burning bridges and walked through miles of sand
Met the lawless and the law but you beat all I ever saw
[ trumpets ]
I dreamed a million miles about your eyes and smiles
I tried to love the best and to turn from all the rest
But I'd scan the skies for you and I only saw your hue
They drew away your mould you were made of frozen gold
And your heart would never thaw you beat all I ever saw
