House of Cash

HOUSE OF CASH started with a newspaper article. Johnny Cash’s house was up for sale, and reading about it immediately raised the old question: What if those walls could talk? Only in a place connected to Johnny Cash, the better question might be: What if those walls could sing? Think about the music, conversations, people, stories, victories, losses, and ordinary moments that could have passed through a house tied to one of the most recognizable figures in American music. That idea took a little time to find its shape, but eventually it became HOUSE OF CASH. The song isn’t really about buying a famous house. It’s about the history that remains inside a place after the people have left — and imagining everything those walls might remember if they were somehow able to tell the story. It also has the kind of concept that can live beyond Hank Colt. HOUSE OF CASH feels naturally suited for another artist to interpret and make their own.

If these walls could talk Think of the songs they could sing All the things They have seen If these walls could talk Think of the songs they'd sing House of Cash “Full of gold” From all the hits And records sold A man in black Walking the line A boy named Sue Singing the blues A ring of fire Burnt and hurt Ashes and dirt “All the memories” Love and lies If these walls could talk Think of the songs they would sing House of Cash Full of gold From all the hits And records sold
