IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
A GREAT SONG WOULD INSPIRE.
HER NOSE, HER COAT, HER PRETTY TOES
WOULD SET HIS SOUL ON FIRE.

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
HE'D PRAISE HER LOVELY EYES.
HER TAIL, HE'D SAY, JUST MADE MY DAY.
WHAT A FINE SONG HE WOULD WRITE.

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
HE'D ASK TO TAKE HER HOME.
I'D SAY "NO, THAT'S HOW IT GOES,
BUT WOULD YOU WRITE A POEM?"

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
HE'D CANCEL EVERY TOUR.
AND TAKE THE TIME JUST TO WRITE
A SONG TO HER ALLURE.

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
HIS SONG WOULD BE SO FINE.
NO NEED FOR "FULSOM PRISON."
NO TIME FOR "WALK THE LINE."

IF JOHNNY CASH HAD SEEN MY CAT,
THE SONG THAT HE WOULD PEN
WOULD HIT THE CHARTS AT NUMBER ONE
AND STAY THERE TIL THE END.

FROM SOMEWHERE UP IN HEAVEN,
JOHNNY CASH HAS SEEN MY CAT.
AND HE'S PROBABLY UP THERE THINKING.
"HOW ON EARTH DID I MISS THAT?"
