This is one of the last songs Johnny Cash recorded. It was originally written for another band and he did a cover that ended up becoming more famous than the original.
You can hear the emotion in his voice, and reminiscing on his life and regretting it more or less. I like this song, its a nice reminder of the most important thing in life: how you feel before your time comes.

[
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
