Solitary Man – JOHNNY CASH

Solitary man é a segunda música do álbum American III: Solitary Man de Johnny Cash em sua série American. Entre Unchained e este álbum, a saúde de Johnny Cash declinou devido a vários fatores, até que ele foi hospitalizado com pneumonia. A doença o forçou a encurtar a turnê. Este álbum contém a resposta de Cash à doença, tipificada pela versão de I Won’t Back Down, de Tom Petty, bem como de One, do U2. Da mesma forma que os outros álbuns de Cash produzidos por Rick Rubin, American III ganhou o Grammy como Melhor Performance Masculina em Solitary Man, de Neil Diamond.

Don’t know that I will but until love can find me And the girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me I’ll be what I am A solitary man

Belinda was mine ’til the time that I found her Holdin’ Jim And lovin’ him Then Sue came along Loved me strong That’s what I thought Me and Sue But that died, too. Don’t know that I will but until I can find me A girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me I’ll be what I am A Solitary Man Solitary Man I’ve had it to here, being where love’s a small word A part time thing A paper ring I know it’s been done havin’ one girl who loved me Right or wrong Weak or strong Don’t know that I will but until I can find me The girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me I’ll be what I am A Solitary Man A Solitary Man Don’t know that I will but until love can find me And the girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me I’ll be what I am A solitary man A solitary man Solitary man
