Johnny Cash
It’s All Over [Personal File version]
[Intro]
There were a lot of songs that I wrote when I first started out in my musical career that I never recorded for one reason or another. Either I didn't feel good about them or I felt, or maybe the record company didn't feel like they were up to par or something, but some of those songs must have had something because I- I still remember them and every once in a while, when I'm driving along in the car, I sing 'em ovеr and over to myself. So maybe that's worth somеthing. Here's a song that a fella and I out in California co-wrote
[Verse 1]
I was on my way to you and I was worried
I was all torn up and nervous 'cause I knew that you'd be gone
I knocked and crossed my fingers while I waited
And I couldn't hold the teardrops when I walked away alone
[Chorus]
It's all over, it's all over, my heart echoed, it's all over
Every minute that you cry for her is wasted, don't you know?
It's all over, it's all over, my heart echoed, it's all over
Stop your crying, turn around and let her go
[Verse 2]
I'd been running 'round in circles like a baby
I was in a daze because I loved you so, I couldn't see
I was broken in a million little pieces
When I saw enough to realize, you didn't care for me
[Chorus]
It's all over, it's all over, my heart echoed
Every minute that you cry for her is wasted, don't you know?
It's all over, it's all over, so forget her
Stop your crying, turn around and let her go
Let her go, boy, let her go
