Interactive Johnny Cash Song Title Game
This weeks interactive game will focus on the music of Johnny Cash. Cash was loved by people of all ages and with varied tastes in music. Cash not only was capable of walking the line ("I Walk The Line"), but had the ability to cross over it in his appeal to the masses.
Rules of the game: take the last letter of the song posted before you and use that letter to come up with the first word of the song you are going to post, do not post twice consecutively (someone else must post inbetween your posts), and if we run out of one letter for songs then we will go on to the next letter until it is also used.
Be fast, be patient, but most of all enjoy the music of Johnny Cash and pay attention to his lyrics - he was an incredible song writer and poet.
This weeks game will begin with the song, "Apache Tears".
Our game starts with an S

There's bear tracks bear tracks lookin' back at me
You better get your rifle boys before it's too late
That bear's got a little pig and headed for the gate
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Runnin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty feet jumps
Ain't never been caught he ain't never been treed

Death and Hell
She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
But said i'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man
I said i'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
Just to drink from your deep well and i'll be on my way
She laughed and heaven filled the room said this i give to you
This body's wisdom is the flesh,but here's a thing or two
