(Man In Black) Tethered to my Body by a Johnny Thread

(Man in Black)Tethered to my body by a Johnny thread  
 
Been poppin pills  
Til the sun rises
Cash is in trouble  
Can’t walk the line  
 
It’s in a cave
In Tennessee  
Fighting the demons
Heroin numbs him
 
June comes along  
He can’t resist  
His secret crush
She’ll save him
 
Folsom prison blues
San Quentin too  
But my name is Sue
How do you do
 
Rosanne said daddy you gotta  
Go to Betty Ford
Can’t have this no more  
The man in black
She said no more
 
He hurt herself today  
But she really feels  
The man in black  
Left an empty hole
