Cash, Johnny - Solitary Man Lyrics






Belinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holdin' Jim
And lovin' him

Then Sue came along,
Loved me strong,
That's what I thought
Me and Sue,
But that died, too.

Don't know that I will
But until
I can find me
A girl who'll stay
And won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
Solitary man

I've had it to here
Being where
Love's a small word
A part-time thing
A paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin' one
Girl who loved me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

Don't know that I will
But until
I can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man

Don't know that I will
But until
Love can find me
And the girl who'll stay
And won't play
Games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
Solitary man

Cash, Johnny Solitary Man Comments
  1. S.... J....

    Analog tubes black and white
    We miss the days of cold war fight
    Mom stayed home and raised the kids
    We grew our hair 10 dollar lids
    No money for shorts cut off jeans
    Back when a trucker could get benzedrine
    Lenny Bruce was deemed obscene
    So he said fuck it all and just od'd
    Cars were heavy and weighed 2 tons
    Ya did a burn out just for fun
    Nobody cared about phones or selfies
    On Tuesday at 7 it was the Fonz and Ralph Malphie...


    I could go on for days....somebody press stop on the 8track.... 🍀

  2. G.... G....

  10. h.... ....

    My freakin anthem

  11. C.... ....

    Theres something about John singing this song that makes it really good. Especially in his older age, knowing his history makes this song sound so much better.

  12. T.... B....

    Class is permanent. RIP John R.

  13. M.... K....

    I’m the life of the party when i go out.............when i go out...

  16. T.... S....

    Gave up on women when I was 30. My best advice for the next generation of men is to stay single.

  17. L.... C....

    bellissima questa versione dellla canzone di neil diamond. se perdo te in italiano. cantata da gianni morandi e mauro giovanardi

  18. L.... V....

    Love from women to men never exists in reality

  19. L.... V....

    Men are meant to be alone, no good comes of trying anything else.

    L.... V....

    L V You sure about that? What about our one evolutionary purpose?

    L.... V....

    @Throw Away As men, our "evolutionary purpose" is to impregnate as many of the female of the species as possible, to ensure the continuation of the Human race. Staying together was never in nature's plan; which probably explains why men and women have such a hard time understanding each other, and why the divorce rate is so high. Think about it; if men and women were meant to be together, and co-exist harmoniously, how come it rarely works out, in the long term?

    L.... V....

    Jer 1967 I don’t know mate, it just seems iffy to assume that our purpose is to fuck as many women as possible haha. Who knows though, maybe you’re right.

  28. M.... C....

    My Wife and I are two riding the same trail our of "Lonesome Dove."

    A.... M....

    not bad/ written and "Entered Buttoned" quick after word written "Along"

  31. G.... D....

    "Solitary Man" movie with Michael Douglas brought me here.
    I heard this song thousands of times growing up (Neil Diamond) but I never really heard the lyrics until the movie and
    the singing by the Man in Black.

  32. E.... F....

    I am a solitary Man too!

  33. J.... D....

    йех бэйби

    Are pills and IUDs abortive? When they fail (which happens often) In their primary function that prevents ovulation by side effect, they also prevent implantation / nesting of the embryo already formed in the womb caused by occult abortion.

  42. M.... M....

    Neil Diamond was a good song writer.

  43. C.... B....

    I should thanks God more for never having had "love". Two of my best friends have had their lives wrecked by bad marriages/relationships. I've always loved this song for reminding me of that.

  44. X.... ....

    MINE

  51. D.... S....

    Middle age break ups are alot harder than when in your 20s. My ex left a year ago still is pretty hard on me, especially when all your friends are married and starting families

    D.... S....

    Dayvon Sunshine same boat

  52. D.... D....

    Alguém sabe o backinvocal do refrão ?

  53. J.... L....

    Bah, que som foda!

    J.... L....

  57. B.... S....

    Insta legendary man in black

  58. M.... ....

    Stargate Atlantis drew me here. Vegas was a great episode, even if it was in an alternate universe.

  59. E.... V....

    Stargate Atlantis, "Vegas" brought me here.

  60. m.... &....

    LOL this song only has two verses the words just repeat them self over and over you got to love three chord songs with not too many words country rules

  61. L.... L....

    Eu amooooo ❤️▫️🇧🇷🆙

  62. L.... R....

    Amo🍓🍓🌾

  63. G.... A....

    Although this song is only slightly over 2 min., it aims right in the bull's eye, just like an uppercut to the chin.

  64. k.... h....

    This is my favorite Neil Diamond song.
    Johnny Cash does a good job of singing it.
    May he be at peace in rest.
    KEH

  65. J.... ....

    Much better then Neil diamond

  66. S.... S....

    i fell in love for the second time...still fucked up but now i wished I'd learned a fucking lesson from the first time instead of you tubing about it.

  67. S.... P....

    Amazing cover but The Best Cover is Gianni Morandi, actually Morandi did it better than Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash and The Rock band HiM

  68. J.... N....

    Solitary is the only way to be!!

  69. A.... J....

    I am in my twenties and it's strange how my friends don't like masterpiece like this one, thank you forever Johnny Cash! That is a relief see many people who enjoy this legend as well. Cheers!

  70. S.... C....

    For Johnny Cash to cover your song is an honor. You make it good but he makes it legend.

  71. B.... E....

    Because of the lying thieves

  72. S.... ....

    I remembered HIM song...

  73. c.... ....

    I knew a boy in school who's older brother caught his wife in bed with his best friend, shot them dead. Crime of passion, 5 years.

  74. z.... ....

    Nothing but pieces of fuck meat on high heels.

  75. L.... E....

    i be what i am a solitary man...

  76. H.... G....

    Wunderbarer Song!

  77. E.... A....

    It's recorded in '66?

  78. d.... ....

    I'm in a good mood and I came here for some Johnny Cash greatness.

  79. A.... B....

    I dont know why I cant get a girlfriend or a wife I really don't want to die alone I'm tired of not haveing someone and being lonely I dont want to die alone like Micheal in the godfather 3I am so sad and lonely and very depressed I also have a learning disability and I just want a girlfriend or a wife and I'm very suicidal  your videos and video games help me I just wish I could get a girlfriend or a wife

    A.... B....

    Trust me we'd all be better off as Solitary Men. My ex just took me for everything. She's living in my house and I'm living in a shitty motel room. Wished I'd have heard this song and listened to Johnny 12 years ago

    A.... B....

    @Wrong Hand I am so lonely and very depressed and very depressed i just want a girlfriend or a wife i been single for a long time and I'm sucdial

    A.... B....

    @Al Bundy Hey Al, just checking up on you. Hope you're doing okay Buddy.

    A.... B....

    @Wrong Hand I want a girlfriend or a wife I am so lonely and very depressed and suicidal

  80. E.... R....

  81. L.... A....

    His voice specially in this song reminds me the voice of mark knopfler

  82. R.... ....

    The Stargate series is and always will be my favorite series.
