Johnny Cash
"Thanks To You" lyrics

Thanks To You

I sat at home on Friday last
Waiting for your call
Thinking as the hours pass
Were you worth it all?

As the tears begin to fill my head
It's then I thought
To write instead
Another hit song
Full of heartache
Thanks to you

Thanks to you
I'm getting the applause
Thanks to you
And all the pain you cause
Credit must go
Where credit is due
So I tip my hat
And I toast to you
For all the hit songs
Full of heartache
Thanks to you

Days go by
And weeks will pass
With not a word from you
And I don't mind
When people ask
"How's you know who?"

Cause when the tears
Begin to fill my head
It's then I start
To write instead
Another hit song
Full of heartache
Thanks to you

Thanks to you
I'm getting the applause
Thanks to you
And all the pain you cause
Credit must go
Where credit is due
So I tip my hat
And I toast to you
For all the hit songs
Full of heartache
Thanks to you

Credit must go
Where credit is due
So I tip my hat
And I toast to you
For all the hit songs
Full of heartache
Thanks to you
