all the pretty little things.

I got you your car.

What do you want from me?!

I want you, John, I want you!

And I want everything

that you promised to me.

Well, what if I can't do that?

Got your mind on something?

What are you doing up there, man?

I'm building a bomb.

Where we going again?

Tyler. The

George Jones show.

Where was it we just was?

Have another one, Carl.

Austin, Carl.

That's where

y'all picked me up.

Hey, Johnny, you see

the new charts?

"Cry, Cry, Cry"

was 14, I think.

Yeah, I heard that.

I haven't seen it.

Wherever we been, I can

tell you where we're going.

Everybody in this car

is going to hell.

What about the

car up there?

We're all going to hell

for the songs we sing.

People that listen to them,

they're going to hell, too.

Shut up with that.

God gave us a great

big apple, see, and He said...

"Don't touch it."

He didn't say

touch it once in a while.

He didn't say take a nibble

when you're hungry.

He said, "Don't touch it.

Don't think

about touching it.

Don't sing about touching it.

Don't think about singing

about touching it."

Well, what about me,

Jerry Lee?

Am I going to hell?

No, June, you're beautiful.

Sleepy is what I am.

She's making me fall

in love with her.

Feel my heart. Come here.

Sincerely.

Feel my heart, baby.

It's just a-beating for you.

Stop it, Jerry.

Come on, I'm falling

for you, June.

Hey. Jerry Lee.

Jerry Lee, stop it.

Jerry Lee, just sit your ass down.

Just sit down.

The 1957 Chevrolet...

- Looks like we're here.

Oh, thank goodness.

Get me out of this car

and all these boys.

Let's go,

home sweet home, boys.

If you could just put those

right there, that'd be great.

Oh, wait.

I wanted

to give you that Billboard.

Oh, right.

It's in here somewhere.

You got a library

in there, June.

Here it is.

I circled it for you.

- Hmm.

- It's right there.

Yeah.

Fourteen.

- I don't believe it.

Um, I wanted to

give you this.

Yeah, I just finished it.

It's really amazing.

The Prophet?

Yeah.

Keep it.

Oh, no, you don't want to...

Whenever I finish a book,

I give it away to somebody.

Just lightens my load.

John.

I just went through

a terrible divorce.

I got a world of

judgment on me right now.

And, um...

it's really none

of my business...

but you seem like

you have a nice family.

I'm sorry.

It just happened.

Just happened?

Yeah.

You wear black 'cause you can't

find anything else to wear?

You found your sound

'cause you can't play no better?

You just tried to kiss me,

because...

it just happened?

You should try taking credit

for something

every once in a while.

John.

Hey, Lou.

Hey, John.

You okay?

I'll let you know

Johnny Cash

John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash; February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and author. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. Although primarily remembered as a country music icon, his genre-spanning songs and sound embraced rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal won Cash the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame. Cash was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice; the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, which is characterized by train-sound guitar rhythms; a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor; free prison concerts; and a trademark, all-black stage wardrobe, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black." He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash," followed by his signature song "Folsom Prison Blues". Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. His other signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue"; a duet with his future wife, June Carter, called "Jackson" (followed by many further duets after their marriage); and railroad songs including "Hey, Porter", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Rock Island Line". During the last stage of his career, Cash covered songs by several late 20th-century rock artists, notably "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails and "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode. more…
