You Beat All I Ever Saw

(Johnny Cash)



I've walked through many towns

With fortunes lost and found

Seen the beauty of this land

Made by nature and by men.



But when I leave I don't look back

For I've only left my tracks

I've crossed the burning bridges

And walked through miles of sand.



Seen the lowliest in the law

You beat all I ever saw.



--- Instrumental ---



I've dreamed a million miles

About your eyes and smiles

I know I've loved the best

I can't be content with last.



I've scanned the skies of blue

For just one glimpse of you

But they threw away the mold

Of a love that's grown so cold.



Your heart would never thaw

You beat all I ever saw...
