Johnny Cash A Legend in my Time Letras:
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 regret,
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,
or love that's in vain.

If lonliness meant world acclaim,
Everyone would know my name,
I'd be a legend in my time.

[Spoken:]
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 regret,
I'd be a legend in my time.

[Sung:]
But they don't give awards,
And there's no praise or fame.
For hearts that are broken,
or love that's in vain.

If lonliness meant world acclaim,
Everyone would know my name,
I'd be a legend in my time.

Performed by: Johnny Cash
Appears on: American (Recordings) V: A Hundred Highways-2006 [2] .]

[1] Donald Eugene Gibson (April 3, 1928–November 17, 2003), born in Shelby,
North Carolina, into a poor working-class family, he was a talented
songwriter, and an country musician. Gibson was nicknamed "The Sad Poet,"
because he frequently wrote songs that told of loneliness and lost love.
He wrote and sang "I Can't Stop Loving You," a song that would be recorded
by over 700 artists, most notably by Ray Charles in 1962. He also wrote and
recorded "Sweet Dreams," a song that would become a major 1963 crossover hit
for Patsy Cline. Roy Orbison was a great fan of Gibson's songwriting, and
in 1967, he recorded an album of his songs simply titled Roy Orbison Sings
Don Gibson. Gibson was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame
in 1973, and in 2001, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.]
