Thanks to Johnny Cash

Hang on cowboys. You too, mountain guys. The song is a comin'. But first, thanks to the man in black, Johnny Cash, for the inspiration. I heard his name associated with one of my favorite pastor/teachers--Tim Keller. The quote goes something like this: Tim Keller is like Johnny Cash. His material is always getting ripped off and he never gets the credit. Thanks Johnny, it's burnin'. And thanks, Tim, it's always grace. "I'm goin' higher" The top is beautiful thing It makes me sing I can see everything A goal I long to reach It’s up and back And then I teach But I sat down cause my legs they were on fire My lungs they burned But my friends all pointed higher and soon I’m up I’m going higher I’m going higher Soon we’ll be up there But where’s the air Give me a chair I’m walking Not doing much talking Oh where’s the air Give me a chair So I sit down cause my legs they are on fire My lungs they burn My friends all point much higher And I keep on goin’ Oh I am a trier to get much higher When we reach the top Oh then we’ll stop And go back down Then’s the time to say It was an easy day When we’re back in town Cause then we’ll sit and our legs won’t be on fire Our lungs won’t burn We don’t have to go no higher And our friends will say ‘Oh you’re a climber. Oh you’re a climber!”
