Johnny Cash - Next in Line lyrics

The next in line will be
Someone who loves you
The next in line is me, because 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, because 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 waiting for your love
I'm tired and we're running short of time
I'll make you love me
More than everyone before
It's my time to try
Because I'm the next in line
I stood and watched you take their hearts
And break them one by one my time is coming
So I waited while you had your fun
Now I'm through a-waiting way behind
It's my time, because I'm the next in line
