I Can't Go On That Way Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Life was a ball of alcohol 

And pills and blues and gals 

And every hung over mornin' 

Was an unheeded warnin' 

That I shared with my lost pals 

And the music flowed 

And my chosen road grew wider everyday 

Till the highs got low and the will said no 

I can't go on that way 

Can't go that way, can't go that way 

Yes, the highs got low and the will said no 

I can't go on that way

Sugar is sweet and good prime meat 

Is so hard to come by 

Saccharine is 'round again 

But today it's do or die 

My baby's is home where I belong 

And this is still my day 

I am hangin' on and I am comin' on strong 

And I can't go on that way 

Can't go that way, can't go that way 

I'm still hangin' on and comin' on strong 

And I can't go on that way 

Up is down and next time around 

I aint goin' round again 

When it comes my time, I'm gonna stop at the line 

And forget where I've been 

Photos 

Who was it said that alive is dead 

And night to some is day 

Just let her go and let a new wind blow 

'Cause I can go on that way
