Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: The Beast In Me
Lyrics for Album: American Recordings [2006]



The beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars

Restless by day And by night rants and rages at the

stars God help the beast in me



The beast in me Has had to learn to live with pain

And how to shelter from the rain And in the twinkling

of an eye Might have to be restrained God help the beast in me



Sometimes it tries to kid me That it's just a teddy

bear And even somehow manage to vanish in the air And

that is when I must beware Of the beast in me that

everybody knows They've seen him out dressed in my

clothes Patently unclear It it's New York or New Year

God help the beast in me



The beast in me


The Beast In Me

Recorded during the American Recordings sessions, this track by Johnny Cash delivers a raw, blues-infused performance that underscores the artist's enduring connection to the Delta blues tradition. The song features Cash's signature gravelly voice and a driving rhythm section, reflecting the gritty energy of the 1960s blues scene. While the specific lyrics are not quoted here, the composition serves as a powerful testament to Cash's ability to channel the spirit of his musical predecessors. Released on the 2006 compilation, the recording highlights his versatility and commitment to authentic storytelling, capturing a moment where Cash's personal intensity merges with the timeless appeal of the blues genre.
