Beth Hart - Wanna Be Big Bad Johnny Cash (Official Lyric Video)

This video will premiere on Friday at 4PM CET / 10AM ET. Make sure to set your reminder for the premiere.

LYRICS:
Cool and quick and whiskey on his breath
Singin' songs like he was cheatin' death
Howlin' at the dark side of the sun
Louder than a madman waves a gun

And when I seen him take the stage
I just knew it right away

(chorus)
I wanna be Johnny
In a big black Cadillac
With my road trash army
And a cocktail waitress on my lap
And the whole damn world can kiss my ass
Wanna be big bad Johnny Cash

Elvis is alive or so they say
Marilyn Monroe she’s just…. okay
I don’t know enough about James Dean
But Johnny is the man that I wanna be

And when I haven’t got a clue
I ask myself “what would Johnny do?”

Cuz I wanna be Johnny
In a big black Cadillac
With my road trash army
And a cocktail waitress on my lap
And the whole damn world can kiss my little ass
Wanna be big bad Johnny Cash

Big bad Johnny Cash
Big bad Johnny Cash
Big bad Johnny Cash
In a big bad big bad Cadillac Cadillac yeah !

Doug solo

In a big black Cadillac lookin' like a badasssssssss !!!!

(chorus)
I wanna be Johnny
In a big black Cadillac
With my road trash army
And a cocktail waitress on my lap
And the whole damn world can kiss my ass
Wanna be big bad Johnny Cash

I wanna be big bad Johnny Cash

Beth Hart’s tribute to Johnny Cash is pure magic! You can feel the passion in every note. What a fantastic listen! 🌟💖

only those who saw, heard, lived through Janis Joplin's time know who Beth Hart is, much more, she is unique. I love her. Luis from Brazil.

I was in a country music bar in Australia, new year's eve. The Lulie Tavern. I made the DJ aware of this song. Hopefully it will take off, fingers crossed.

Beth Hart....you got grit....you got soul...you are rock and roll.

Joe Bonamassa said right there on the Opry Stage that the blues was country's cousin---- and here's his good friend Beth Hart, stepping up to the plate and dee-livering a great blues country song, right here! 🌹 and I heard him say it!
