Next Line - Johnny Cash

The next in line will be someone who loves you

The next in line is me, 'cause it’s my time

Now how long will it be, till you end my misery

You better be prepared to linger, when you get to me

The time has come for you to love me, if you ever are

Come to me now, so I can make you mine

I watched them rush to you so fast

I waited so I’d be the last

It’s my time, 'cause I’m the next in line

The next in line will want your love forever

The next in line is me and here I am

Give me a day or two and I’ll get through to you

You’d been my baby long ago, if you’d turned down a few

This old heart can’t take much more waitin' for your love

I’m tired and we’re runnin' short of time

I’ll make you love me more than everyone before

It’s my time to try, 'cause I’m the next in line

I stood and watched you take their hearts

And break 'em one by one

My time is comin', so I waited while you had your fun

Now I’m through a-waitin' way behind

It’s my time, 'cause I’m the next in line
