A Legend In My Time Lyrics - American V: A Hundred Highways - Johnny Cash

If heartaches brought fame, in love's crazy game 

I'd be a legend in my time 

If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets 

I'd be a legend in my time 

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame 

For hearts that are broken for love that's in vain 

If loneliness meant world acclaim 

Everyone would know my name 

I'd be a legend in my time 

If heartaches brought fame, in love's crazy game 

I'd be a legend in my time 

If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets 

I'd be a legend in my time 

But they don't give awards and there's no praise or fame 

For hearts that are broken for love that's in vain
