Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

(God has my fortune laid away) 
Oh the world is full of people with money just to burn 
Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn 
Some can take life easy but I live from day by day 
God has my fortune laid away 

I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain 
The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame 
Pockets that stay empty dreams that go astray 
God has my fortune laid away 

(God has my fortune laid away laid away) 
Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to be 
Some people live in riches while some live just like me 
The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay 
But God has my fortune laid away (laid away) 
I search for sunshine
