The Bug That Tried to Crawl Around the World - Johnny Cash

The Bug That Tried to Crawl Around the World - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)
Now you've heard of folks
With a lot of ambition
But I believe just about the
Biggest case of ambition I ever saw
Was in a bug that I saw
Crawlin' along the beach one day
He was a mighty ambitious bug
On the beach one early mornin'
As a day was newly dawnin'
And the sun again was warmin'
All the chill thru'out the land
I saw me a bug a walkin' and at
First I thought he was quakin'
Then I found out he was talkin'
While he crawled across the sand
He was crawlin' mighty straight
At a slow but a steady gait
And when I asked him to wait he
Said oh come on crawl with me
But I said where you goin' and he
Said you'll be knowin'
For I'm gonna make a showin'
And you'll someday see
Well I stood there by the ocean
I suddenly had the notion
That I start this big promotion
So this challenge I enfirled said the bug
So I gave my wife a hug and
I left my confy rug
So I could be the only bug
That ever crawled around the world
Well he seemed mighty small
And it was a long way to crawl
And I'm sure he couldn't swim
At all so I try to discourage my friend
I said you know the world is
Round and there's mighty lotta ground
And there some water to be
Found before you reach your journey's end
And he said now don't you fret
There's problems to be met
But I'll make it you can bet and
This deed will bring glory to my name
You know they said man would
Never fly now he's soarin' in the sky
Cause he had the will to try so let me win my fame
So he crawled on out of sight
As he sought that splendoured height
Neither lookin' left nor right but
Slowly marchin' toward his goal
And my knowin' he had started
On his journey as we parted
Kept me from feelin' too down hearted
For he was a mighty ambitious soul
Well I've looked everywhere I've been
And seen a lotta bugs since then
But not one quite like my little friend
When I think of him I'm filled with pride
Did he make it I don't know he was crawlin'
Mighty slow and he had a long way to go
And all I can tell you folks is that he tried
He sure was an ambitious bug
