A legend in my time

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

If loneliness meant world acclaim

Everyone would know my name

I'd be a legend in my time
