cash poet : I have tried in my way to be free

'lyric' : of or relating to a category of poetry that expresses subjective thoughts and feelings, often in a songlike style or form
Johnny Cash ... was a poet, a lyricist. I don't think anything should be called a LYRIC unless its lyrical ... by definition
BIRD ON A WIRE
Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons with theeAnd if I have been unkind
I hope that you will just let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to youLike a baby stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you
