[00:07.74]Silverstein
[00:08.10]Now you know some fellahs they want fame and fortune
[00:12.36]Yeah and other fellahs they just wanna swing
[00:17.37]But all I wanted all my life
[00:19.47]Was a TV set and a truck and a wife
[00:21.81]And a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[00:26.40]Yeah the TV and the truck I got on credit
[00:30.93]And I got that girl with a little old Woolworth ring
[00:35.70]And life was warm and life was sweet
[00:37.89]But still it was kinda incomplete
[00:40.08]Without a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[00:44.49]Hey John you walk the line
[00:47.10]Do Deelia one more time
[00:49.41]And when you do them Cottonfields
[00:51.69]You warm this heart of mine
[00:56.10]So one day I thought Hey I'm gonna do it
[00:59.37]That's what I said
[01:00.66]So I mortgaged the farm and pawned her wedding ring
[01:05.28]I sold the gold tooth out of my mouth
[01:07.56]And jumped in the pickup and headed South
[01:09.75]For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[01:14.46]I hit Nashville cold and wet and hungry
[01:18.54]I said I'm here bring him on let him do his thing
[01:23.46]But they told me down at the Old Pit Grill
[01:25.65]I'd have to go all the way to Andersonville
[01:27.90]For a front row seat to hear ole Jonny sing
[01:32.37]I found his house knocked on the door and it was opened
[01:37.05]By a brown haired girl and a baby with a teethin' ring
[01:41.52]I said I seen you somewhere before
[01:43.71]But don't stand there and block the door
[01:46.11]I want a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[01:50.28]Hey John you walk the line
[01:52.86]Do Deelia one more time
[01:55.08]And when you do them Cottonfields
[01:57.36]You warm this heart of mine
[02:01.71]She said I'd have to go down to The Opry
[02:06.30]And the feller there said I'd have to wait till Spring
[02:10.65]He said We've been sold out for months and months
[02:13.14]And this poor insane fellah wants
[02:15.27]A front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[02:19.62]Well he said a couple more things and I started cryin'
[02:24.24]And then he laughed at me and that's when I started to swing
[02:28.89]Well I bust through the doors in a roaring rage
[02:31.29]Crawled over the crowd till I reached the stage
[02:33.54]For a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
[02:37.77]Hey John you walk the line
[02:41.04]Do Deelia one more time
[02:42.72]And when you do them Cottonfields
[02:45.06]You warm this heart of mine
[02:50.01]Then some crazy guard started shootin'
[02:54.30]I shot back and the next thing I know I was winged
[02:57.30]And on the floor
[02:58.80]When a guy in a voice kinda deep and low
[03:00.96]Says Boy that's a mighty long way to go
[03:03.18]For a front row seat to hear ANYBODY sing
[03:07.86]And I guess that judge he weren't no music lover
[03:12.42]I got fifteen months but that don't mean a thing
[03:17.07]Cos' yesterday in the prison yard
[03:20.79]A show come through and HAR de HAR
[03:24.96]I had a front row seat to hear ole Johnny sing
