Analysis of Cash Only

In this modern day and age
Of almost anything goes
Everybody wants to haggle
Everybody’s short of dough
I’ve got one rule that’s golden
One rule through thin and thick
Cash only is legal tender
No Cash you’re up the creek.
 
Cash on the Barrel Head
In God We Trust
Cash on the Jukebox
Is a Definite Must
 
You might need gas and oil
You might need chips and beer
The rent might be due tomorrow
The car payment might be near
Do yourself a favor
Shred that credit card in two
Cash only is my motto
To Uncle Sam be true
 
Cash on the Barrel Head
In God We Trust
Cash on the Jukebox
Is a Definite Must
 
I’m headed down to Nashville
Music City I’m on my way
Going to check out Titan Stadium
Headed Grand Ole Opry way
I’ve heard a lot of “Modern Country”
It’s not for me, I swear
Cash Then, Now, and Forever
Is the standard that I bear.
No stronger voice did echo
The Man in Black sang words so true
When they lay me down some day
Carve “Cash Only” on my tomb.

Cash on the Barrel Head
In God We Trust
Cash on the Jukebox
Is a Definite Must
 
And as I reach the pearly gates
I’ll hear that bariitone
“I Won’t Back Down” will echo ‘round
And I’ll know I’m not alone
The Devil will just shake his head
His teeth will grind and gnash
I’m going to spend eternity
With God and Johnny Cash.
