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
