Johnny Cash — Why Is A Fire Engine Red

Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods And if you don't believe it Just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson 'cause they saw him, too I was drivin' my jeep across the field And when I came in to the edge of the woods I saw Kevin Jones Comin' down out of a tread I stopped my jeep And Kevin jumped up on the running board And there it's when he said There's a bear in the woods And I looked right at Kevin And I said, now Kevin, tell me the truth And he looked at me right in the eye He said, I'm not kiddin' you, Uncle John He said, there's a bear in the woods And if you don't believe it Just ask Wesley Orbison and Lance Johnson 'cause they saw him, too I kept on lookin' right at Kevin and I said Now tell me truth, Kevin He said, it is, it's a bear, it's a black bear He said, it's not a big bear, but it's a bear It's a black bear I've seen him goin' down the trail there I kept on lookin' at Kevin and I got to thinkin' Now Kevin Jones said, there's a bear in the woods Kevin was seven years old and I'm a lot older than he is And I've done a lot of things that he hadn't done And one of those things that I've done that he hadn't, is to lie So I got to thinkin', if Kevin Jones says There's a bear in the woods, who am I to doubt it Well, I kind o' grinned at Kevin And he jumped down off of the running board And I started my jeep back up And headed down the road in the woods As I went away I hollered back at Kevin and I said Hey Kevin, watch out for that bear in the woods!
