It came in the mail yesterday It was addressed to me And there inside the package Was a Johnny Cash CD I didn't read the titles I just put it in the tray When I pushed the button A song began to play And there in my own living room I heard him sing my song It's a moment I'll be remembering My whole life long It sounded like he wrote it So powerful and sweet I'd known that it was finished But now it felt complete I remember when I wrote it So many years ago I thought it was worth singing But you never really know I remember putting down my pen And calling it a day I never could imagine How my song would find its way There are no guarantees, my friend No matter how you try You do the work, you give them wings And hope that they might fly So tomorrow I'll sit down again Do what I have done I'll put my pen to paper And I'll let it have its fun I'm grateful to the Man in Black As thankful as can be He took my song into his heart And he gave it back to me And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
