Im 60 and can tell you that he is talking about the pain he caused the people around him. To get to where he is at. Also the comment his goodbye to the world.
You have to know and listen to his musical career to fully feel the heaviness of this song. It was his last recorded song and his goodbye to this world.
Johnny Cash(an ICON in country music for sure) and Elvis, only lived about 40 miles apart when they were teenagers...Johnny in Dyess, AR and Elvis in city housing projects in the downtown area of Memphis, TN.
My favorite music video of all time. If you look at these facts, it gives the song more meaning..........."When the video was filmed in February 2003, Cash was 71 years old and had serious health problems. His frailty is clearly evident in the video. He died seven months later, on September 12; his wife, June Carter Cash, who is shown gazing at her husband in two sequences of the video, had died on May 15 of the same year."
I love watching reactors to this. They always start out all perky and bouncy, but within 10 seconds that fades into the realization that this is not a perky bouncy song.
Because Johnny Cash was and still is a Christian, even in his sadness and regrets, and he knows that Christ paid for his sins as the imagery portrays in the greatest fact of all history, the death burial and resurrection of Jesus. He sang many other songs through his long career attesting to that truth.

Johnny is a legend. So glad you didn’t cut the video off short at the end . A lot of reactors do and miss it.

I think so too. He seems to be another interesting music legend!
